Cover Story: Shown in this picture is a novel belt-based self-actuated linear drive (B-SALD), in which a self-powered moving platform slides on a slotted track with an essentially unlimited range of motion. A double-sided timing belt serves as the power-transmitting element: with the teeth on its inner surface, the belt interacts with a timing pulley for its own circulation; with the teeth on its outer surface, the belt interacts with a slotted track and drives the translation of the platform. With its multiple advantages (no lubrication required; a simple slotted track that is inexpensive to manufacture; and an inherent compliance to buffer shock loading), the B-SALD may become a competitive linear actuator for electromechanical systems that require powered linear movement and accurate position control for a long range of motion.
