Ball Screw (PMBS) Torque

The Amount of Torque Needed to Drive a Load with and without Preload

The calculator takes the input parameters of a given PMBS ball screw assembly and determines the amount of torque required to move a given load. In addition, it calculates the drag...

Ball Nut Life

The Expected Life of a Specific Ball Nut with a Given Load

The calculator derives the expected life in inches of travel (Inch Calculator), or the expected number of revolutions (Metric Calculator) of a ball nut operating at a load which is...

Column Strength

The Compression Load at Which a Column Will Fail Due to Bending or Buckling

The calculator uses the diameter, unsupported length and end fixity to determine the approximate minimum diameter required to support a given load.

Critical Speed

The Input Speed Which Excites the Resonant Frequency of a System

The calculator uses the diameter, unsupported length and end fixity to determine the approximate rotational speed at which resonance will occur. It can also back-calculate to deter...

Horsepower

The Amount of Power Needed to Drive a Load

The calculator takes the input shaft speed and the torque required for a given load and derives the amount of horsepower or kilowatts expended. It can also back-calculate either th...
