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 ...

Inspection for bone screws is a complicated process. Using a thread gauge measurement approach may enable a streamlined manufacturing process. Controlling the manufacture of bone and pedicle screws ...

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 ...

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), ...

In the plastics industry, twin screws are at the very heart of the extrusion process that transforms raw materials into rigid PVC pipe or profile. These highly engineered components are integral to ...
