Planetary Screw Assemblies: New sizes with increased capacity range

★ By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

Rexroth opens up new fields of applications with planetary screw assemblies with new sizes. The drive elements with screw diameters up to 75 mm and leads up to 20 mm achieve static load capacities up to 1,496 kN while featuring a compact design. They are ideal for use in medium sized and heavy-duty machinery such […]

What happens when you combine a planetary gear with a ball screw?

★ By Danielle Collins 2 Comments

Answer: You get a planetary roller screw. Replacing the recirculating balls of a ball screw with grooved rollers results in a precision drive mechanism with extremely high load capacity, acceleration, and speed capabilities, all in a small footprint. Planetary roller screws fit well in applications at the upper end of ball screw capabilities, but that require […]
