The rigidity of a ball screw determines the amount of elastic deformation it will experience in the axial direction, under a given load. Elastic deformation, and therefore rigidity, is a fundamental ...

Estimating how long a piece of equipment will last in an application is critical information in the specification process. This step-by-step guide examines how to estimate the life of electric ...

Welcome to this Motion Control Classroom on roller screws and ballscrews. Absolutely core to linear-motion designs are the three types of rotary-to-linear screw drive types: Simple leadscrews ...

Here’s a little engineering quiz for you: If an app needs to move a 500 kN axial load along a 1,500 mm stroke, is it best to use a roller screw or ball screw? If you instinctively said roller screw, ...
