Determining the service or useful life of screw actuators – lead (acme), ball, and roller screws is a fundamental problem that faces many motion-system designers. In a broad sense, a screw’s service ...

The 1-ton-capacity ball screw actuator has a standard 23.1-percent efficiency rating and can be driven at a maximum of 1/2 horsepower. It is available with top plate, clevis, or threaded end mounts.

Ball screw mechanisms represent a critical class of precision drive components that convert rotational motion into linear motion by utilising recirculating ball bearings. This conversion is achieved ...

Vice President Copley Controls Corp. Canton, Mass. Historically, industry has depended on ball screws, belt drives, and pneumatic mechanisms for automation’s positioning tasks. But the rising demand ...

Linear actuators are devices that convert any rotary or spinning motion into a linear (straight) motion. In simple words, they help machins move forward and backward. The most basic type of 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, ...

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 ...
