Knowing the details of a linear-motion application increases the odds of choosing the right ball screw. The more thrust an application requires, the larger the diameter screw will be needed. That’s ...

Lead screws are commonly used to convert rotary motion into linear motion, and often provide actuation to a set of linear bearings. Download this Tech Talk for insight into different lead screw ...

Translating rotary motion to linear motion is a basic part of mechatronic design. Take a look at the nearest 3D-printer or CNC router — at least the Cartesian variety — and you’ll see some mechanism ...

Ok, I lied. This is more of a "do my math" request than a question. I'm working on a project that requires lifting a 10 lb load vertically using a lead screw (threaded shaft) and then lowering it ...

When it’s necessary to convert motion from rotary to linear, engineers usually use ball or leadscrews. But planetary roller screws, such as those from INA, a brand of the Schaeffler Group USA, Fort ...

Magnetic lead screws and linear motion systems represent an advanced class of electromechanical actuators that convert rotary input into precise linear displacement through the use of permanent ...

The 28000 Series size 11 double-stack external hybrid linear actuator features a rotating stainless-steel lead screw into the motor’s rotor, eliminating shaft-to-lead screw couplers. The linear ...

Super smooth: the updated linear-shift mechanism from UHV Design exploits a precision slideway to increase the translation speed (Courtesy: UHV Design) UHV Design, which specializes in the design, ...

The Small Modules Screw Driven (SMS) line of linear axes from Bosch Rexroth range features more compact sizing and ball screw assembly. They are designed for simple positioning and feeding tasks and ...
