Precision Ball Screws
Ball screws are among the most efficient devices available for converting rotary motion to linear motion. The high efficiency, which ranges from 50% to 98%, results in dramatic savings in system size and weight.
Increased efficiency, coupled with the mechanical reliability of ball bearing technology, permits heavy loads to be positioned by smaller, lower weight, less power-consuming motors and eliminates leakage, sponginess and problems associated with hydraulic or pneumatic systems. Recirculating ball bearings assure quiet, smooth, long life and trouble-free operation.
