Power screw drives and timing belts carry a dual function in linear motion. They are used for linear positioning and therefore need to provide acceptable accuracy and repeatability. At the same time ...

The handheld screw driver is a wonderful tool. We’re often tempted to reach for its beefier replacement, the power drill/driver. But the manually operated screw driver has an extremely direct feedback ...

There are many industrial applications requiring linear motion, and for most applications, conventional belt or screw drives do just fine. But when loads need to move long distances (more than 40 ft), ...

Schaeffler ensures its ball screw drive solutions meet high-performance standards worldwide through a growing manufacturing network. All KGT variants convert rotational into linear motion with nearly ...

Wheels and tracks are common choices for robot propulsion, but they’re not the only game in town. You can do some nifty things with long extruded screws , and they work pretty well in soft terrain.

Wisconsin engineer Tim Lexen built and designed the rover. At its heart is a flat triangular PVC main body (measuring about 7 inches/17.8 cm per side) that houses three electric servo motors, battery ...
