Ballscrews and roller screws are two of the most popular components for applications that move loads linearly. They can both be used with electric actuators but there are significant differences which make each of them ideal for different applications. Here we look at how both ballscrews and roller screws are made and the advantages and …
Ballscrews are an essential component of precision machinery as they are a linear actuator that is able to turn rotational motion into linear motion. They achieve this via ball bearings which operate like a precision screw, utilising the helical pathway of the threaded shaft. They are especially useful for precision machinery as the screwing action …
