    A different (better) kind of screw

    It is surprising to find out that no one on the forum has ever mentioned a roller screw.

    They seem to be a lot more robust than ball screws and look like something that could possibly be even made at home (a home equipped with a workshop and a lathe, that is )

    Anyone ever pondered on the idea?
