The lead screws can be chosen with a high start ratio for in- creased speed or a single start ratio to generate more linear force. • Timing Belts: Belt-based systems typically require a pulley, idler(s), and belt clips and can be arranged in either a closed (closed loop belt) or open (belt segment) configuration. Timing belts require constant tension during operation and are prone to stretching during abrupt direction changes, in particular under load. Table 2-2: Comparision of Mechanical Motion Methods

Page 26.1091.3The Role of Building RelationshipsIn order to undertake challenging design and build projects with industry sponsors, a substantiallevel of trust must be established between the university and the sponsors. Such projects requirean understanding of the capabilities of the student teams on the part of the corporate sponsors, aswell as an understanding of the culture and expectations of their corporate partners by thestudents and faculty. This level of trust requires long term planning, development, and nurturing.The engineering programs as Grand Valley State University were launched at the request of localindustry in the 1980’s.
