Lead Screws

Noise and vibration in leadscrew-driven motion designs and how to avoid them

April 30, 2018 By

Leadscrews — especially those with high-accuracy threads — can be a low-vibration alternative to other linear-motion options. That’s in part because of the consistent contact between their … [Read more...] about Noise and vibration in leadscrew-driven motion designs and how to avoid them

Lead Screws 101 – A Basic Guide to Implementing a Lead Screw Assembly for Any Design

June 15, 2016 By

Haydon-Kerk-Leadscrews

In many devices lead screw assemblies are used to convert motion from rotary to linear and vice versa. Historically these assemblies have had poor efficiencies and relied on grease for improved … [Read more...] about Lead Screws 101 – A Basic Guide to Implementing a Lead Screw Assembly for Any Design

Pressure Velocity and Leadscrew Assemblies

June 15, 2016 By

Haydon-Kerk-Leadscrew-Assemblies

Pressure velocity (PV) is a fundamental property of all plastics, and is specific to the composition of the plastic. PV for a lead screw application is a calculated value based on load and surface … [Read more...] about Pressure Velocity and Leadscrew Assemblies

When to Apply External, Non-Captive and Captive Step Motor Actuators

August 17, 2015 By

Feature2

A common way to generate precise linear motion is to use an electric motor (rotary motion) and pair it with a leadscrew to generate a linear actuation system. Depending upon what this linear actuator … [Read more...] about When to Apply External, Non-Captive and Captive Step Motor Actuators
