The most common means is by use of a spiral. Think of a long screw and a nut. If you keep the nut in one position and you rotate the screw threaded into the nut...the screw will move up or down as you rotate it. Many applications use this method, such as mechanical jacks as opposed to hydraulic or pneumatic based jacks.

Does a pulley convert linear force to a rotational motion?
YES
What motion is similar to rotational motion?
Ceiling Fan rotates about a vertical axis. Top rotates about its own axis
What is different between motor and actuator?
actuator same as motor, it transducer that converts one energy form into another, such as air pressure, fluid pressure to linear or rotational motion.motors convert the electrical signal to rotational motion, there are many types of motors like a electric motors which convert electric into rotation motion, Pneumatic motors convert compressed air into rotation motion. Hydraulic motors convert fluid pressure into rotation motion.
How does a rack and pinion mechanism work?
A rack and pinion is a pair of gears which convert rotational motion into linear motion. The circular pinionengages teeth on a flat bar - the rack. Rotational motion applied to the pinion will cause the rack to move.See Here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_and_pinion
Why cams have irregular shape?
They need to convert rotational motion to motion of some other form - usually linear motion. That can only be accomplished through the use of specific irregular shapes.
What is the Difference between periodic motion and rotational motion?
rotational motion is the motion which always take circular path.Periodic motion means motion that repeats with the same inter-well of time.earth rotation is an eg. of rotational motion, at the same time it is a periodic motion.
What is the difference between oscillating and rotational motion?
Rotational motion is motion which emulates that of the minute hand of a clock. Oscillating motion is motion which emulates that of the pendulum.
What are day to day examples of rotational motion?
the spinning of earth around its axis, the motion of fan are some examples of rotational motion.
What is the rotational analog of force in linear motion?
The rotational analog of force in linear motion is "Torque".
Are all rotational motion periodic?
I think all rotational motion are periodic. There is not possible of nonperiodic
Can an object have rotational motion and rectilinear motion?
Yes.
Which force is associated with rotational motion?
Two forces associated with rotational motion are centripetal force and centrifugal force.
