This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Lubricants on ball screws are as important to their performance and life as are their operating loads, speeds, ...

A few simple tips for maintaining accurate, reliable ball screws. It's relatively simple to determine the lead accuracy of a ball screw before you buy it. Just ask the manufacturer and get a protocol.

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 ...

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, ...

The PRS models, with G5 lead accuracy, are available in screw diameters ranging from 8- to 80-mm, and deliver static load ratings up to 218,000-lbf. Exlar’s PRR models, with G9 lead accuracy, are ...
