What’s the difference between a ball screw and a regular threaded rod?

A ball screw uses rolling balls to reduce friction and increase precision, while a standard threaded rodhas more friction and less accuracy.

Our Ball Screws.

Rolled ball screws are specially designed for applications that require high loads and high speeds. These screws are available in various tolerance grades, ranging from T5 to T9. To maximize their lifespan and performance, regular lubrication and maintenance are essential.

Rolled ball screws

Planetary roller screws are a highly efficient solution for converting rotary motion into precise linear movement.

A ground ball screw is manufactured with a very smooth surface finish and extremely uniform thread geometry. The smoothness is achieved through a grinding process, where the screw’s outer surface is precisely treated to become as flat and even as possible. This allows the screw to move smoothly and consistently inside the nut.

Miniature ball screws are used to advantage in compact applications where space is limited. Examples of such applications include medical devices and measuring equipment.

Refurbishment of ball screws and linear modules.

If a screw can't be refurbished, we can in most cases reverse-engineer and manufacture a new one. All refurbished ball screws are test-run and delivered with a measurement report. If you need refurbishment, contact us to receive a reference number. Then, fill out the service form, attach it to the package, and send it to us.

What are ball screws?

A ball screw converts rotary motion into linear motion and is used in applications requiring stable and

precise movement with high accuracy. Ball screws are widely used in the automotive industry, machine tools, assembly equipment, and more.

To meet specific demands for speed, force, and lifespan, ball screws are available in various diameters

and lead pitches. A properly optimized and maintained ball screw can last for many years. To preserve

performance, the screw should be protected from contaminants and lubricated regularly.

Why are ball screws important?

Ball screws are fundamental in many machine applications. They provide high precision, repeatability,

and eciency. They also reduce friction and wear, which extends the machine's overall lifespan.
