See how a scotch yoke drive unit creates asymmetric drive rod speeds to extend heat-exchange ti
Elastic units at the displacer end regions store and release force to offset pressure-loss loads and prevent motor slip in cryogenic refrigeration.
A dual-chamber pump moves viscous food during the return stroke, cutting refill delays and enabling faster continuous dispensing.
A shared motor, shaft, clutch, brake, and pressure sources control multiple eversion actuators while cutting actuator size and cost.
A shared shaft, clutch, and reel setup lets multiple eversion-based actuators extend and retract with one motor, cutting size and cost.
A woven sleeve and modulus-thickness ratio let this hydraulic actuator withstand 5 MPa while maintaining contraction and long cycle life.
Pressure-driven tip eversion and artificial muscles let a growing robot steer through cluttered spaces with low friction and stationary power.
An annular diaphragm pump uses a sleeve-shaped drive element to transmit back-and-forth motion for fluid displacement.
