Motion Profile Review/edit

The application motion profile should be entered as one complete cycle including dwells between cycles. The application motion profile will be used to estimate the actuator life in years. The sizing results are only as accurate as the information entered into the motion profile.


Add Motion Profile: Add an additional motion profile, segment, or dwell to the application

Bulk Actions: Used to delete multiple motion profiles, segments, or dwells

Ungroup: Converts a triangular or trapezoidal motion profile into individual segments.

Edit: Change the inputs of a motion profile, segment or dwell

Delete: Remove an individual motion profile, segment, or dwell

The expected L10 life of a roller screw is express as the linear travel distance that 90% of the screws are expected to meet or exceeded before experiencing metal fatigue. The mathematical formula that defines this value is below. The life is in millions of inches (MM). This standard L10 life calculation is what is expected of 90% of roller screws manufactured and is not a guarantee. Travel life estimate is based on properly maintained screw that is free of contaminations and properly lubricated. Higher than 90% requires de-rating according to the following factors:
95% x 0.62
97% x 0.44
99% x 0.21
96% x 0.53
98%x 0.33
