Abstract: Emerging applications of ball screw drives such as semiconductor inspection, fiber optic alignment, medical equipment, and miniature robotic actuators typically make use of ball screws that are ...

Abstract: As a result of the push for sustainable machine designs, efforts are constantly being made to reduce the mass/inertia of moving machine components so as to minimize material usage and energy ...

Abstract: It has been a common practice to assume that the torsional and axial dynamics are totally decoupled from the lateral dynamics of the screw when modeling ball screw drives. However, experiments ...
