Ball screw drive systems are pivotal in modern machine tools, providing the precise conversion of rotary motion into linear movement. Their high stiffness and efficiency render them essential in ...

The ability to operate consistently at higher speeds is why motion system designers often specify ball screws over lead screws. However, ball screws have speed limitations of their own. Understanding ...

Ball-screw drives have long been considered noisy by definition. But companies that buy and use them are increasingly requiring that their machine tools operate more quietly to improve the work ...

Global production network: In February, Schaeffler started production of ball screw drives for steering systems at its plant in Xiangtan, China. Credit: Schaeffler. Schaeffler, a German manufacturer ...

The inch series precision ground ball screws feature a robust internal recirculation system designed to promote durability and high performance in demanding linear-actuation applications. The ...

Here’s how power losses and inertia matching affect the efficiency of linear drives. The operating efficiency of linear drives is of growing concern to machine designers. Here's a look at three common ...

The PRS models, with G5 lead accuracy, are available in screw diameters ranging from 8- to 80-mm, and deliver static load ratings up to 218,000-lbf. Exlar’s PRR models, with G9 lead accuracy, are ...
