When it’s necessary to convert motion from rotary to linear, engineers usually use ball or leadscrews. But planetary roller screws, such as those from INA, a brand of the Schaeffler Group USA, Fort ...

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 ...

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, ...

There are many industrial applications requiring linear motion, and for most applications, conventional belt or screw drives do just fine. But when loads need to move long distances (more than 40 ft), ...

The 28000 Series size 11 double-stack external hybrid linear actuator features a rotating stainless-steel lead screw into the motor’s rotor, eliminating shaft-to-lead screw couplers. The linear ...

Ok, I lied. This is more of a "do my math" request than a question. I'm working on a project that requires lifting a 10 lb load vertically using a lead screw (threaded shaft) and then lowering it ...

This video shows the operation of the PiezoMike Linear Actuators with PIShift Piezomotor. The linear screw-type actuator with PIShift piezo inertia drive is provided for high-resolution and stable ...
