What are the characteristics of using ball screws

2023-05-24

Ball screws play an important role in the production of various machine tools. Here, we first have a brief understanding of the usage characteristics of ball screws.


Firstly, high precision

The precision of ball screws is very high. It can be said that ball screw pairs are currently the most advanced mechanical equipment in the world, especially in various processes such as grinding, assembly, and factory environment inspection, playing a very important role. In use, there is also relatively strict temperature and humidity control. Such high usage standards are inseparable from very comprehensive management quality.


Secondly, the friction loss is minimal

The friction loss is small, but the transmission efficiency is high. The emergence of this usage characteristic is directly related to the perfect design of the ball screw, which uses a large number of balls in the installation design between the shaft and the nut. During operation, these balls are actually constantly moving. The advantage of this design is that it minimizes friction and improves motion efficiency to the greatest extent possible.


Thirdly, it has high rigidity

The use of high axial stiffness is also a prominent feature of ball screws. Ball screw pairs can be preloaded during use, and due to the presence of pressure, the axial clearance may be in a negative state, resulting in higher stiffness.

Finally, ball screws have a prominent advantage in use, which is that they cannot self lock during use, avoiding many troubles, and have transmission plasticity.
