1. A surgical instrument including an end effector and a power module, the power module comprising:

  • a first motion conversion assembly, comprising;

    a first rotary drive; and

    a first axial drive operably coupled to the first rotary drive;

    a second motion conversion assembly, comprising;

    a second rotary drive; and

    a second axial drive operably coupled to the second rotary drive;

    a motor configured to generate at least one rotational motion to actuate the end effector, the motor defining an actuation axis; and

    a transmission assembly configured to selectively operably couple the motor to the first rotary drive and the second rotary drive, wherein the first rotary drive is rotatable about the actuation axis in response to the at least one rotational motion when the motor is operably coupled to the first rotary drive, and wherein the second rotary drive is rotatable about the actuation axis in response to the at least one rotational motion when the motor is operably coupled to the second rotary drive.
