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 ...

Elastic spacers that separate recirculating balls inside ball-screw nuts improve fine and slow motion. Conditions such as frequency oscillations or intermittent short strokes often cause balls in ...

A supplier of automation technology to medical OEMs produces compact EGSK and EGSP ball screw axes with a recirculating-ball-bearing guide that are designed to provide precision, repetition accuracy, ...

Ball screws convert rotary motion into smooth, accurate, and reversible linear motion and can often serve as the most efficient and cost-effective choice for linear drive systems. These anti-friction ...

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, ...
