Introduction to Ball Screw Assemblies
Ball Screw Assemblies are a type of linear motion technology. They are a smooth functioning process, in which rotational movement is translated into linear motion using a ball screw shaft, ball nut and balls.
Applications
Profile Rail Systems, Machine Tooling, Metal Forming, Semi-conductor, Aerospace tooling
Benefits of using Ball Screw Assemblies
- The principle of internal recirculation creates a smooth rotation
- The large number of balls recirculating allows for a high load rating
- Move heavy loads at fast speeds with accuracy
