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 ...
Electronic preloading of rack-and-pinion drives yields backlash-free motion with minimal friction, improving precision and efficiency. • Rack-and-pinion actuators can have accelerations and speeds ...
Knowing the details of a linear-motion application increases the odds of choosing the right ball screw. The more thrust an application requires, the larger the diameter screw will be needed. That’s ...
