Three Advantages for Using Ball Screws

NookPrecision Metric Ball ScrewOf all the screws in industry used for motion, ball screws provide unique benefits when compared to other standards, such as roller screws or acme screws. Here are just three of the benefits to using ball screws in your future applications.

High Efficiency – Ball screws typically operate at a minimum of 90 percent efficiency, which makes them an optimal choice in converting rotary motion into precision linear motion.

Load Capabilities – A part of what makes ball screws versatile in so many industries is their ability to carry remarkably heavy loads at fast, efficient speeds.

Cost-Efficient – In the long run, ball screw systems can prove to be a cost-effective alternative to pneumatic or hydraulic systems, which require constant electrical and air power.
