  2. Ball screw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_screw

    A typical ball screw may be 90 percent efficient, versus 20 to 25 percent efficiency of an Acme lead screw of equal size. Lack of sliding friction between the nut and screw lends itself to extended lifespan of the screw assembly (especially in no-backlash systems), reducing downtime for maintenance and parts replacement, while also decreasing ...

  3. Leadscrew - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leadscrew

    A leadscrew (or lead screw), also known as a power screw [1] or translation screw, [2] is a screw used as a linkage in a machine, to translate turning motion into linear motion. Because of the large area of sliding contact between their male and female members, screw threads have larger frictional energy losses compared to other linkages.

  4. Lead (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_(engineering)

    Lead is the axial advance of a helix or screw during one complete turn (360°) [1] The lead for a screw thread is the axial travel for a single revolution. [2] Pitch is defined as the axial distance between adjacent threads on a helix or screw. In most screws, called "single start" screws, which have a single helical thread along their length ...

  5. Screw thread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_thread

    Lead (/ ˈ l iː d /) and pitch are closely related concepts. They can be confused because they are the same for most screws. Lead is the distance along the screw's axis that is covered by one complete rotation of the screw thread (360°). Pitch is the distance from the crest of one thread to the next one at the same point.

  6. Screw mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_mechanism

    where is the lead of the screw. The distance ratio of a simple machine is defined as the ratio of the distance the applied force moves to the distance the load moves. For a screw it is the ratio of the circular distance d in a point on the edge of the shaft moves to the linear distance d out the shaft moves.

  8. Jackscrew - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackscrew

    The ball screw is a more advanced type of leadscrew that uses a recirculating-ball nut to minimize friction and prolong the life of the screw threads. The thread profile of such screws is approximately semicircular (commonly a "gothic arch" profile) to properly mate with the bearing balls. The disadvantage to this type of screw is that it is ...

    The HuffPost/Chronicle analysis found that subsidization rates tend to be highest at colleges where ticket sales and other revenue is the lowest — meaning that students who have the least interest in their college’s sports teams are often required to pay the most to support them.
