Ball Screw Linear Actuators Product Introduction and Application

A ball screw linear actuator is a core transmission system consisting of a high-efficiency, high-precision ball screw and a drive motor (primarily a servo motor or stepper motor) that supplies the rotational force. These motors are a core solution for achieving high-precision, high-speed, and high-efficiency linear motion and are widely used in various fields such as automation, precision manufacturing, and scientific research.

Ball screw linear actuators transmission products have the following characteristics:

High-speed, high-frequency motion: Due to the low friction coefficient provided by the circulating steel balls between the screw and the nut, ball screws are exceptionally well-suited for high-speed and high-frequency movements. Extended service life: The screw, nut, and ball are all crafted from high-hardness metal, which allows for a significantly extended service life. Superior transmission accuracy: The manufacturing precision of ball screw is relatively high. For example, a typical C7-grade precision screw maintains an error within ±0.05mm over a 300mm length. Reversible drive: The rolling friction between the nut and the screw facilitates a reversible drive, as the system does not possess self-locking properties. High manufacturing cost: The intricate manufacturing process for ball screws and nuts presents significant challenges, leading to a relatively high production cost.

The following is an introduction to MOONS' ball screw linear actuators products.
