Coupling a Motor to a Load
It should not be surprising that with so many load types and motor types, there are many ways to couple a motor to a load! The rotary motors are more common, but linear and even planar motors are available. Although the linear motors are more specialized and would rarely be used to move a rotary load, converting rotary motors to linear motion is very common. The subject is very broad, so this article will focus more on servo applicable gear heads.
