Screw joint

A screw joint is a one-degree-of-freedom kinematic pair used in mechanisms.[1] Screw joints provide single-axis translation by utilizing the threads of the threaded rod to provide such translation. This type of joint is used primarily on most types of linear actuators and certain types of cartesian robots. [2]
