Ball screws and roller screws are widely used for high-force linear motion and are replacing fluid power devices. In general, these screw mechanisms generate linear motion by rotating either the 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 ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Lead screws are one of the most common linear-motion devices, thanks to their low cost and reliability. And recent ...
