The rigidity of a ball screw determines the amount of elastic deformation it will experience in the axial direction, under a given load. Elastic deformation, and therefore rigidity, is a fundamental ...

Estimating how long a piece of equipment will last in an application is critical information in the specification process. This step-by-step guide examines how to estimate the life of electric ...

Here’s a little engineering quiz for you: If an app needs to move a 500 kN axial load along a 1,500 mm stroke, is it best to use a roller screw or ball screw? If you instinctively said roller screw, ...

When sizing a motor, one of the most important factors is the required torque. In general, motor torque-speed curves outline two primary areas of permissible torque: continuous and intermittent.
