In many devices lead screw assemblies are used to convert motion from rotary to linear and vice versa. Historically these assemblies have had poor efficiencies and relied on grease for improved performance. Over the past few decades the advent of engineered polymers and new manufacturing capabilities have changed the game for the conventional lead screw … Continue reading Lead Screws 101 – A Basic Guide to Implementing a Lead Screw Assembly for Any Design

Ball Screw Maximum Compression Load
A compression load is a force that tends to compress, or buckle a ball screw shaft. If a compressive force is applied to a screw that exceeds its column strength, the ball screw will bend and cause premature or permanent failure. This can happen in either horizontal or vertical applications. In some cases, you may … Continue reading Ball Screw Maximum Compression Load
Ball Screw Assembly Choices
The main function of Ball and Acme (Lead) Screw Assemblies is to provide a drive mechanism, usually within a positioning table, to move a load. The drive mechanism is an element that contributes to position accuracy, repeatability, speed, and mechanical system resolution. Ball Screws are the screw of choice for high duty cycle, high speed, … Continue reading Ball Screw Assembly Choices
