Precision Screw Thread Corp. collaborated with Össur, a Iceland based bionic technology firm, in designing a power screw and nut set for the world’s  first truly bionic prosthetic foot, the PROPRIO FOOT® .  According to Össur, the PROPIO FOOT® “thinks for itself, responding beautifully to changing terrain and transforming the approach to stairs and slopes, as well as level-ground walking. Angling itself appropriately, it also helps amputees to sit and stand up easily and more naturally.”

PST’s goal was to develop a power screw and nut set that replicates the mechanical function of the human ankle, which powers the toe pitch.  While designing the power screw and nut set for the intelligent ankle module, Precision Screw Thread Corp. was presented with a array of challenges.  The biggest challenge was engineering a highly precise and smooth moving power nut and screw that had minimal axial and radial play.   All the while keeping the weight and design envelope to an absolute minimum.

Over the course of months PST created the most efficient nut and screw set ever designed in their 58 year history.   In doing so PST was able to reduce much of the sliding friction and achieved nearly 60% efficiency within the nut and screw package.

However, these efforts encompass a much more important goal.  To help facilitate a higher quality of life for trans-tibial amputees, by creating a mechanical device that functions as close to the human foot as possible.  PST is both proud and pleased to have been able to contribute to such a life-changing product.

Heli-Tek, a PST company, and OnYourMark,LLC, a full-service web design and host, recently teamed with i-Mark,Inc. a Connecticut based SaaS company that is providing Heli-Tek.com with a highly customized 24/7 BUSINESS^TM eCatalog allowing any type of end-user to search and purchase their linear motion components.

This solution will not only offer specialized features for jargon-friendly engineers but also for the end-user who has limited ball screw/linear motion knowledge.  “We believe it is important that we make people feel comfortable when they browse our site, by designing a eCatalog with all users in mind we will provide the confidence that is needed not only in researching our products but also for purchasing.”  said Jordan Bush, Marketing Specialist at Heli-Tek.

The new eCatalog will integrate customizable product selection wizards which guide the different users types through a series of questions, in addition to a variety of user-friendly engineering calculators and visual product selectors that display the specific products or components.  Furthermore, Catalog Data Solutions will be providing dynamic 2D and 3D product models available on-demand for all product lines.
