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 ...
The ability to operate consistently at higher speeds is why motion system designers often specify ball screws over lead screws. However, ball screws have speed limitations of their own. Understanding ...
Roller screws convert rotary motion into linear motion just like acme and ballscrews. Comparably sized roller screws, however, have better efficiency than acme screws and can carry larger loads than ...
