With so many different ball screws on the market and the attendant flood of data from manufacturers, designers can have a tough time sorting out what truly affects ball-screw performance. Information ...

This close-up of the ball contact in a profile projector shows a gothic arch. It consists of at least two radii slightly larger than the ball used, but offset so the raceway touches the ball on both ...

Ball screw mechanisms represent a critical class of precision drive components that convert rotational motion into linear motion by utilising recirculating ball bearings. This conversion is achieved ...
