AIRFOIL MECHANISM WITH PRESICION BALL SCREW PROJECT DETAIL
After calculating all the forces acting on the aircraft, a wing was designed using ball screw system to
open and close the wings. All angles and forces can be modified in the excel file and the results can be
seen.
A precision ball screw was selected to suit the aircraft. The angle of the wing can be changed between
+30 and -30. Force, torque and displacement of the shaft can be seen automatically. It can also be
changed in lengths affecting the design of the wing and the results can be seen. All of these are
graphically available in the file. If the values that you entered cannot be handled by the ball screw,
they are indicated by a red box. The color will turn green as the values becoming what we want.
