Fig. 5.7 Basic 1-DOF model with fixed lead screw...

The last variation of the basic lead screw drive model considered here is shown in Fig. 5.7. In this configuration, the lead screw is fixed in place and the nut rotates, causing it to translate along the lead screw together with other moving parts (i.e., motor, gearbox, payload, etc.). The equation of motion of this system is also given by (5.18).
