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 ...

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 ...

We’ve got mixed feelings about a new video from [AndysMachines] that details how he makes custom ball screws. On the one hand, there’s almost zero chance that we’ll ever have an opportunity to put ...

Most 3D printers use leadscrews for at least one axis. These are simple devices that are essentially a steel screw thread and a brass nut that travels on it. However, for maximum precision, you’d like ...

When designing drive systems, ball screws are still the most widely used components among designers due to their high performance and the associated energy efficiency. To properly size a ball screw ...
