Quality in ball screws

The ball screw is a Roller screw drive with balls as rolling elements, it serves to implement a rotational movement in a longitudinal movement or vice versa. Versatile are the requirements and the designs of a ball screw in practice.

Advantages of a ball screw:

  • The efficiency is up to 98% for ball screw
  • Higher service life due to almost wear-free running, due to the rolling friction only small losses occur.
  • Low drive power required
  • When rolling friction and high efficiency, the heating is correspondingly low
  • Accurate positioning
  • Higher process speeds
  • No stick-slip effect

Function A

By a rotational movement of the spindle creates a longitudinal movement of the mother.
By a longitudinal movement of the nut creates a rotational movement of the spindle.

Function B

By a longitudinal movement of the spindle creates a rotational movement of the nut.
By a rotational movement of the nut creates a longitudinal movement of the spindle.

Efficiency

The efficiency is up to 98% for ball screw, compared to the trapezoidal screw drive, which reaches a maximum of 30% due to higher friction losses.

This results in a very effective conversion of rotary into longitudinal movement.

I+F ball screws

We offer you ball screws in swirled, ground and rolled quality, which have proven themselves by low pitch tolerances and excellent surface quality.

Advantages of our production possibilities:

  • Cost-effective production for small and medium quantities
  • Series production of large quantities
  • Production of special gradients
  • Speed
  • High dimensional accuracy

The nut designs are all defined according to DIN 69051, in addition, customer-specific special shapes are manufactured.

Each ball screw drive receives a quality assurance check log after extensive inspection..
