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 ...

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, ...

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 ...
