We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Rotary Motion",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Rotary motion simulators provide high accuracy from
Aerotech, which we summarised at the time by saying "Range is aimed at dynamic in-process testing of gyroscopes, MEMS sensors, accelerometers and other rate table applications requiring ultraprecise rotational profiling".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Water recycling cuts cleaning costs from
Michael Smith Engineers: "Michael Smith Engineers' Hydra-Cell seal-less pumps are particularly effective for cleaning applications and are ideally suited to handling recycled fluids or fluids containing particulates".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Adept Scientific
- take a look at Training equipment distribution deal reached
which says: "Quanser control training equipment delivers an end-to-end solution for training students in control theory and practice".
Take a look also at the news release from Micro-Epsilon UK, Displacement sensors protect sattelite,
as well as Rotary bushings offer smooth movement from Ondrives/Rino Industries,
and Ceramic components offer easy miniaturisation from Maxon Motor UK.
