Functioning of ball screws

Ball screws are precision mechanical components designed to convert rotational motion into linear motion. A ball screw consists of a spindle and a nut that moves along the length of the spindle. The spindle is equipped with ball tracks, and as the spindle rotates, balls circulate within these tracks. This rolling action minimizes friction between the spindle and the nut, allowing for smooth and efficient linear movement.

Ball screw selection criteria

The selection of the appropriate ball screw design is crucial and depends on the specific needs of the application, including factors such as load, accuracy, speed, and service life. For instance, ground ball screws offer highly precise dimensions and superior surface quality, ensuring smooth and accurate linear motion.

On the other hand, rolled ball screws, due to their manufacturing process, are ideal for applications where high speed or load capacity is a priority, but where the highest level of accuracy is not as critical. These are commonly used in automation systems, where performance and efficiency are key considerations.
