Benefits and features of Moog planetary roller screws
A ball screw is a rolling system consisting of a threaded shaft (screw) and a nut that, internally threaded as well, contains a determined number of balls.
The return of the balls that run in the nut during the rolling is permitted by one or more mechanical elements called liners.
A ball screw is similar to a ball bearing, with the balls travelling in one or more threads
A planetary roller screw is a rolling system consisting of a threaded shaft (screw) and a nut that, internally threaded too, contains a determined number of threaded rolls with gears on the ends.
The roller engages its threads with the screw and the nut and it is guided in its orbiting motion by two timing ring gears placed at each end of the nut.
The planetary roller screw is, as the ball screw, a rolling element device but not limited by the presence of balls, typical of ball screws.
