The weight of the piston and the reciprocating motion of the rod are the primary factors causing the out-of-balance conditions during the engine cycle.

A cam is a simple mechanism that converts rotary motion into linear, reciprocating motion.

Reciprocating motion moves backwards and forwards along a straight line, for example a piston in an engine. The best mechanical control systems are actually very efficient in terms of the effort ...

Heath Evdemon has designed a new kind of wind turbine based on reciprocating motion that's currently being scaled up into a full-size prototype with the help of the Future Factory project.

Although split-ring seals are most often used for reciprocating motion, they are sometimes applied to hydraulic swivel joints and transmissions.

Previously, the reciprocating motion involves an initial rotation in a counterclockwise direction, which allows the instrument to penetrate and cut the dentin.

Electric oscillating valves from Hoerbiger-Origa offer a low-cost way to control reciprocating pneumatic cylinders.
