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 ...

This conventional double nut has a split spacer that can be removed for grinding to adjust the preload. Fitting keys prevent the nuts from turning relative to each other. The size of the nuts, mainly ...

Most inexpensive 3D printers use a type of lead screw to move some part of the printer in the vertical direction. A motor turns a threaded rod and that causes a nut to go up or down. The printer part ...
