Motion Control – Tutorial – Solenoid Construction Solenoid Construction A Solenoid is a long wire, wound with a helical pattern, usually surrounded by a steel frame, having a steel core inside the winding. When carrying a current “i “, the Solenoid becomes an electro-mechanical device, in which electrical energy is converted into mechanical work.

Motion Control Tutorial – Slotted vs. Slotless Motor Technology
Motion Control – Tutorial Motor Technology Motion Control Tutorial – When first introduced, brushless DC motors, despite their many advantages, were cast as a costly alternative to brush-commutated motors and were typically only specified for low-power applications where long life was the primary desired requirement. Without the mechanical brush-commutator mechanism that would wear and eventually […]
Motion Control – Steinmeyer Tutorial Series – Ball Screws – Explaining Load Capacity!
Motion Control – Ball Screw Tutorial Tutorial presented by Steinmeyer – Many engineers are confused about this topic, especially if they don’t work frequently with ball screws. So let’s take a moment to explain the terminology. BURLINGTON, MA — There are generally two load capacities given for a particular […]

Motion Control – Steinmeyer Tutorial – Ball Screws – Maximum Load!
Tutorial presented by Steinmeyer – Their Ball Screws are specially manufactured for dynamic performance BURLINGTON, MA –Motion Control Tutorial – Ball Screws – Maximum Load There are five ways a ball screw may fail due to overload: Excessive dynamic loading, which means the screw makes too many revolutions […]
Motion Control White Paper – Life Expectancy for Single Vs. Double Nut Ball Screws
Motion Control Components – White Paper – Life Expectancy for Single vs. Double Nuts by Steinmeyer! Life expectancy equations provided by some manufacturers only cover nuts having two-point contact. But what about four-point nuts? And what about the effects of preload? BURLINGTON, MA –Motion Control Components – The fundamental determining factor of life expectancy […]
