Ball Screws

A ball screw is a mechanical linear actuator that translates rotational motion to linear motion with little friction. A threaded shaft provides a helical raceway for ball bearings which act as a precision screw. As well as being able to apply or withstand high thrust loads, they can do so with minimum internal friction. They are made to close tolerances and are therefore suitable for use in situations in which high precision is necessary. The ball assembly acts as the nut while the threaded shaft is the screw. In contrast to conventional lead screws, ball screws tend to be rather bulky, due to the need to have a mechanism to re-circulate the balls bearing.

Linear Rails

Hardened polished steel shaft fully supported on aluminum base. High rigidity of this type of guides allows using them on precision machines sensitive to deflection and bending. Add open type linear slide units for motion.

Considered by many to be the default choice for linear motion applications, the round shaft reticulation linear ball bearing pillow block is a tried and tested option suitable for most linear motion applications. This is the open, single length, ISO Metric version. The open design allows for fully supported shafts and support rail to be used for greater rigidity.

We use 16mm ball screws with dual matching linear rails and four bearing blocks for our X & Y axis and 12mm setup for our Z axis.
