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 ...

Ball screw drive systems are pivotal in modern machine tools, providing the precise conversion of rotary motion into linear movement. Their high stiffness and efficiency render them essential in ...

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.

How does coupling selection affect productivity in today's automation environment? Bill • Rexnord: Selecting couplings for servo systems can be a daunting task. Some systems can detect errors as small ...
