superhero Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 My boss needs me to create/find an object which converts compression force into rotational torque. The object needs to be cylinder shape with max 1.5 cm height and 5 cm diameter. The max compress distance is 0.5cm. Does anything like that in market? Quote Link to comment

JasonXCX Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 You could use a SKF BALL SCREW http://www.skf.com/portal/skf_us/home/news?contentId=510217. in a mechanism. in all cases you need pieces to be made on purpose , How high is the torque? precision efficiency is grease allowed in the vicinity and so on ? . You should ask a mechanical engineer with a lot of details. Quote Link to comment
