Ball screws convert rotary motion into smooth, accurate, and reversible linear motion and can often serve as the most efficient and cost-effective choice for linear drive systems. These anti-friction ...

Ball screw mechanisms represent a critical class of precision drive components that convert rotational motion into linear motion by utilising recirculating ball bearings. This conversion is achieved ...

A few simple tips for maintaining accurate, reliable ball screws. It's relatively simple to determine the lead accuracy of a ball screw before you buy it. Just ask the manufacturer and get a protocol.

Schaeffler, a German manufacturer of machine and car parts, has commenced production of ball screw drives (KGTs) for a Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer. KGTs are integral to advanced ...
