Recirculating Ball Screw

This type of power screw is used for high speed high efficiency applications, and is becoming more common. It has become 
popular because it is essential in CNC, as well as robots and aircraft actuators. The ball screw assembly is as shown below and includes a circular shaped groove cut in a helix on the shaft. The ball nut also includes an internal circular shaped groove which matches the shaft groove. The nut is retained in position on the shaft by balls moving within the groove. When the nut rotates relative to the shaft the balls move in one direction
along the groove supporting any axial load. When the balls reach one end of the nut they are directed back to the other end via ball guides. The balls are therefore being continuously recirculated.


The recirculated ball screw has the following advantages and disadvantages to the conventional threaded power screws: 





Advantages:



1.High Efficiency - Over 90%
2.Predictable life expectancy
3.Precise and repeatable movement
4.No tendency for slip-stick
5.Minimum thermal effects
6.Easily pre-loaded to eliminate backlash- with minimum friction penalty
7.Smoother movement over full travel range
8.Smaller size for same load
9.Can be used to create rotary motion from
10.linear motion Disadvantages
11.Requires higher levels of lubrication
12.Tendency to move - (Requires additional
13.brakes if locking is required)
14.Susceptible to contamination(minor) 





For the same capacity ball screws are not as rigid as conventional power screw (elasticity of balls) but this is usually trivial compared to shaft elasticity.

Different types of BMW accessories

Dash kits Dash kit gives a great luxury look to the interior part of the cars which can be seen in BMW series. As you can find the high quality plastic material used for the dash board kit parts having a real look. There are different types of series of models with chosen colour like BMW 1 series wood Grain from the most reputed names in business. Most of the manufacturers provide the better choice for all the finished products. Some are authentic Wood veneers, OEM Factory-Match Woods, Real carbon Fibre and more extensive dash kits. Wood Veneers is the better options which is having the good test time and enact a precise OEM fitment. These are available in in version of the models according to the year and series. Grills In a basic point grill is like a network or a mesh which not only give protection the vehicle but also give a stylish look and but also gives a protection from the external hazards. Generally these are made up of stainless steel and other alloy like BILLET GRILLES, T-R

Contunious Deforestation in single turn off page

  The bookmaking is done with the help of the bark of the tree which was generated or grow all around the steam. this kind of paper tree can be seen in the large big forests. As they are going to expire due to the production of the paper at a huge scale they are not being carried out back for the recycling of the paper after the usage.  Reuse the age of the paper will make the reducing of the trees cutting of the deforestation to some extent which may control the environmental conditions of the earth. as the civilization is increasing there is no plantation of the trees are taking place which is a big drawback to the environment pollutions.  TREES ARE THE OXYGEN GENERATORS  If you are removing all the trees in the world how can you as a living being survive on the earth like called planet. we have to ask this question to ourselves at least once of time in life. As the man is having an IQ when comparing to all others in the world. As man is growing to an unlimited height the destruction
