Kinematics of a hospital bed in ASOM
Hospital beds are equipped with two essential drives: one for adjusting the height of the entire bed and another for tilting the foot section. In reality, such systems often use spindle drives.

Kinematics for a door closer
The example shows the externally visible components of a door closing system and the associated forces when the door is operated manually.
Aircraft landing gear with bearing friction
This case study demonstrates the deployment and retraction of an aircraft landing gear with bearing friction using the ASOM kinematics software. The model views the gear's movement along the aircraft axis and is applicable only during flight before touchdown.
Kinematics of a hospital bed
This example shows part of the kinematics of a hospital bed or an examination couch. The bed has two different actuators or spindle drives, one for the height adjustment of the entire bed and one for lifting of the ...
