Updated May 2015. || Ballscrews are used to change the direction of motion—from either rotational motion to linear motion or linear to rotational. The advantage of ballscrews is that they accomplish this function with minimal friction. The basic components of a ballscrew are a nut, a screw with helical grooves, and balls (often made from […]

What are dc motors and how do definitions vary? Technical summary for engineers
Updated May 2019. || Dc motors are motion components that take electrical power in the form of direct current (or some manipulated form of direct current) and convert it into mechanical rotation. The motors do this through the use of magnetic fields that arise from the electric currents to spur rotation of a rotor fixed […]
