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 conventional double nut has a split spacer that can be removed for grinding to adjust the preload. Fitting keys prevent the nuts from turning relative to each other. The size of the nuts, mainly ...

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 ...

They hold together everything from the most delicate watch to the largest bridge. The world is literally kept from coming apart by screws and bolts, and yet we don’t often give a thought to these ...

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 ...

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, ...
