A traditional lead screw and nut combination requires the driven screw to change its direction of rotation to enable the nut to return to its original start position. However, in certain applications, it may be advantageous to maintain a single direction of rotation of the screw but still have the nut return to the start position.

The design and reliability of a compression spring control mechanism that originally involved the amalgamation of four separate  parts was recently upgraded by using the Heli-Cal machined spring product. The previous assembly consisted of a wound compression spring, a machined spring seat...

When we look at custom or specialist shaft couplings, it is important to remember that it does not invariably mean a custom or specialist price; it can sometimes actually mean a cost saving. Shaft couplings by the nature of their placement are ultimately the critical connection between the motor and the driven mechanism;...

Design engineers are discovering the many benefits that machined springs provide to their designs, where spring forces are required. Developed from the concept of incorporating the versatile Heli-Cal Flexure concept into a single piece of material;...
