Overview
A lead screw use a helix angle and a nut to convert rotary motion onto linear motion.
Life time and Maintenance
Life times are typically long and maintenance consist of lubricating.
For accurate life time estimations, a case study under controlled conditions similar to the use case is required. Theoretical estimates of life times are often based on specified recommended design load and typical operating speed. It is recommended to do these calculations if you'r lead screw are going to operate at 500 rpm or higher. [1]
