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 ...

Ok, I lied. This is more of a "do my math" request than a question. I'm working on a project that requires lifting a 10 lb load vertically using a lead screw (threaded shaft) and then lowering it ...

Roller screws convert rotary motion into linear motion just like acme and ballscrews. Comparably sized roller screws, however, have better efficiency than acme screws and can carry larger loads than ...
