Application of ball screw

A ball screw is a mechanical device used to convert rotary motion into linear motion. It consists of thread-shaped balls and corresponding threaded belts. The balls roll on the threaded belts to achieve linear motion on the rotating axis. Ball screws have the characteristics of high efficiency, precision, and good rigidity, and are widely used in many fields. The following are some common applications of ball screws:

Machine tools: Ball screws are widely used in machine tools, such as CNC machine tools, lathes, milling machines, etc. It is used to realize workpiece clamping, workpiece feeding, spindle movement, etc., improving the accuracy and efficiency of processing.

Robots: The application of ball screws in industrial robots is very important. It is used to drive each joint of the robot to achieve movement and ensure the positioning accuracy and stability of the robot.

Automotive industry: Ball screws have multiple applications in the automotive industry, such as lathe turntables, brake systems, fuel injection systems, etc. It can provide high-precision linear motion to meet the precision and reliability requirements of the automotive industry.

Aerospace: Ball screws play an important role in aerospace. It is widely used in aircraft flaps, slats, casters and other components to achieve precise motion control.

Medical equipment: Ball screws are also widely used in medical equipment. For example, it is used in CT scanners, operating tables, X-ray machines, and more to provide precise positional control and motion.

In addition to the above fields, ball screws are also widely used in electronic equipment, textile machinery, printing machinery, injection molding machinery and other industries. Overall, ball screws play an important role where precise and efficient linear motion control is required.
