Applications have been as diverse as replacing the hydraulic legs on flight simulators to zero backlash 10x1 preloaded G1 (6microns per 300mm lead accuracy) accuracy roller screws used above earth’s atmosphere.

The satellite roller screw product can definitely take linear challenges to the next level. By offering high load capacity, reliability and high accuracy, a roller screw design will always transmit more load than a ball screw nut assembly, size for size.

If an application requires a high linear load to be repeatedly moved at speed but the design is constrained by space, the satellite roller screw program is ideal. If you are designing a linear system maybe it’s worth having a look at this product.
