Linear Motion vs. Rotational Motion â¢ Linear motion involves an object moving from one point to another in a straight line.â¢ Rotational motion involves an object rotating about an axis. â Examples include a merry-go-round, the rotating earth, a spinning skater, a top, and a turning wheel.
Linear actuators convert rotary motion into linear motion. The common drive methods used in this conversion are lead screws, ball screws, belt/pulley or chain/sprocket. Many times an electric motor is coupled to the screw, pulley or sprocket. These motors can be positioning motors like stepping motors or servo motors.
