Including Cartesian robots, gantry systems, and XY tables.
Linear guides and systems are typically subjected to both linear forces due to downward, upward, and side loads and rotational forces due to overhung loads. Rotational forces — also referred to as moment forces — are typically defined as roll, pitch, and yaw, based on the axis around which the system tries to rotate.
To define roll, pitch, and yaw in linear systems, w...
