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 ...

Ball screws and roller screws are widely used for high-force linear motion and are replacing fluid power devices. In general, these screw mechanisms generate linear motion by rotating either the screw ...

This conventional double nut has a split spacer that can be removed for grinding to adjust the preload. Fitting keys prevent the nuts from turning relative to each other. The size of the nuts, mainly ...
