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 ...

To get the most out of ball screws, they must be protected from coolants and debris. Today’s machines tools routinely operate on a 24/7 basis with little, if any, downtime allowed for routine ...

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, ...

Researchers at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany are investigating whether the load-life calculations for ball-screw actuators used routinely by engineers are applicable in machine designs ...

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 ...

Medical equipment, semiconductor manufacturing, robotics, and syringe pumps are among the uses for a new brushless DC servomotor actuator. The compact servomotor is 2" in length and utilizes a ...
