Barnstaple, England-Engineers use ball screws when they want efficient, reliable, and repeatable conversion of rotary to linear motion-characteristics that have made ball screws standard in a wide ...

Machine tools today compete against each other on productivity and accuracy. But the rapidly changing conditions under which modern machine tools operate make it difficult to maintain productivity and ...

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 ...

The SLME is a ball screw-driven linear actuator that uses a fine-pitch ball screw and recirculating ball bearing guide designed to achieve high accuracy and repeatability. The ball tracks of the SLME ...

While an engineering mindset is a valuable tool most of the time, there are some situations where it just seems to be a bad fit. Solving problems within the family unit would seem to be one such area, ...
