How to Specify, Select and Apply Linear Ball Screw Drives

 

by Terry McNier, Senior Product Specialist and Jeff G. Johnson, Product Engineer, Thomson Industries, Inc.

Specifying the right ball screw for a given application will ensure machine accuracy, repeatability and life while minimizing the total cost of ownership.

A ball screw drive translates rotational motion to linear motion or vice versa and can apply or withstand high thrust loads--upward of 750,000 lb static capacity using a 6.000 in. ball screw assembly--with efficiency typically greater than 90%. Ball screws help guide, support, locate, and accurately move components and products in a range of automation applications.
