Lead screws are one of the most common linear-motion devices, thanks to their low cost and reliability (see "A Short History on Ball Screws"). And recent advances in modern machining can make them ...

Ball screws convert rotary motion into smooth, accurate, and reversible linear motion and can often serve as the most efficient and cost-effective choice for linear drive systems. These anti-friction ...

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, ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Lubricants on ball screws are as important to their performance and life as are their operating loads, speeds, ...

MOTION CONTROL: Steinmeyer Inc. announced that it is now registered with the United States Department of State Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) as both a broker and exporter. Our factory ...

Ball screw models of PHD’s electric actuators are designed for high performance, where as the lead screw design provides lower tier performance at a significant cost savings. Precision ball screw or ...

Most 3D printers use leadscrews for at least one axis. These are simple devices that are essentially a steel screw thread and a brass nut that travels on it. However, for maximum precision, you’d like ...
