Project 1: Linear Motion System Design

Define requirements for a linear actuator system based on load and speed specifications.

Perform sizing calculations for a lead screw or ball screw based on system requirements.

Select and model standard guide rails and bearing blocks based on system requirements.

Model the selected lead screw or ball screw assembly in OnShape.

Design and model mounting brackets for the actuator and motor.

Design and model structural supports for the guide rails and overall assembly.

Integrate all parts into a top-level assembly with appropriate mates.

Create an assembly drawing including standard views and a preliminary Bill of Materials (BOM).
