We’ve got mixed feelings about a new video from [AndysMachines] that details how he makes custom ball screws. On the one hand, there’s almost zero chance that we’ll ever have an opportunity to put ...

Ball screw mechanisms represent a critical class of precision drive components that convert rotational motion into linear motion by utilising recirculating ball bearings. This conversion is achieved ...

Ball screw drive systems are pivotal in modern machine tools, providing the precise conversion of rotary motion into linear movement. Their high stiffness and efficiency render them essential in ...

When designing drive systems, ball screws are still the most widely used components among designers due to their high performance and the associated energy efficiency. To properly size a ball screw ...
