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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
