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 ...

Here’s a little engineering quiz for you: If an app needs to move a 500 kN axial load along a 1,500 mm stroke, is it best to use a roller screw or ball screw? If you instinctively said roller screw, ...

Ground and rolled-thread ball screws come in 3 to 125-mm shaft diameters with a wide variety of pitches. The screws can be configured with various nut styles including single, pitchshift and double ...

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 “non-tube” internal return design of the inch series incorporates balls in each circuit removed from the raceway and returned to it by solid metal deflector pins. This design eliminates the need ...
