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 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 ...

While an engineering mindset is a valuable tool most of the time, there are some situations where it just seems to be a bad fit. Solving problems within the family unit would seem to be one such area, ...

Super smooth: the updated linear-shift mechanism from UHV Design exploits a precision slideway to increase the translation speed (Courtesy: UHV Design) UHV Design, which specializes in the design, ...
