Ball screw or belt drive? Let the application decide. Cost-effective actuators capable of precise linear motion are in growing demand by machine builders. Two of the more widely used actuator drives ...

Determining the service or useful life of screw actuators – lead (acme), ball, and roller screws is a fundamental problem that faces many motion-system designers. In a broad sense, a screw’s service ...

The Ball Screw Drive Unit AGK from Rexroth uses a high-performance ball screw in a rigid aluminum housing to drive motion at speeds to 96 m/min, even in extreme environments. Specially designed screw ...

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, ...
