        [Summary description]  Ball screw is an ideal product for converting reverse motion into linear motion, or converting linear motion into reverse motion. Ball screw is a transmission element commonly used in tool machinery and precision machinery, and its main function is to convert rotary motion into linear motion.


  Ball screw is an ideal product for converting reverse motion into linear motion, or converting linear motion into reverse motion. Ball screw is a transmission element commonly used in tool machinery and precision machinery, and its main function is to convert rotary motion into linear motion.


Or convert torque into axial repeated force, together with the characteristics of high precision, reversibility and high efficiency. Because of its small frictional resistance, ball screws are widely used in various industrial equipment and precision instruments. Ball screws are composed of screws, nuts, steel balls, preloaded plates, reversers, and dust protectors. Its function is to convert rotational motion into linear motion.


  This was a further extension and development of the Acme screw, and the significance of this development was to transform the bearing from a sliding action to a rolling action. The history of people using screws for transmission was not very long, and traditional screws had always been poorly positioned and prone to harm.


  It was not until AD that people first tested putting steel balls between nuts and screws to replace sliding friction with rolling friction to improve their unsafe positioning and easily hazardous conditions. Ball screws were also placed on automotive steering equipment, which was a huge innovation in the use of ball screws and gradually replaced traditional Acme screws (ACME). Until recent years, ball screws have become one of the most widely used components in the industry.
