Ball screw mechanisms represent a critical class of precision drive components that convert rotational motion into linear motion by utilising recirculating ball bearings. This conversion is achieved ...

Fundamental ball-screw technology hasn’t changed much since 1929 when Rudolph G. Boehm patented a device he called an “anti-friction” nut. The ability to smoothly and precisely move heavy loads is a ...

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, ...

This article was updated May 30, 2023. It was originally published March 20, 2017. Speed is an important characteristic in ball screws, as it is for most motion control devices. But ball screws have ...

We’ve got mixed feelings about a new video from [AndysMachines] that details how he makes custom ball screws. On the one hand, there’s almost zero chance that we’ll ever have an opportunity to put ...
