Ball screws are precision mechanical components used to convert rotary motion into linear motion while minimising friction. Ball screw systems use a series of balls that run between the threaded shaft and the nut, allowing smooth and precise movements. As the shaft turns, the balls move along the spiral path in a continuous manner.

What are the advantages of ball screws?

Thanks to their innovative design, ball screws minimise friction between the shaft and the nut, thereby increasing precision of movement, energy efficiency and ensuring a longer service life.

In which applications are ball screws used?

Ball screw applications range from machine tools to robotics and medical equipment. Their ability to hold tight tolerances makes them ideal for industries where precision is crucial.
