Ball Screws FAQs

What is a ball screw?
A ball screw is a mechanical assembly consisting of a ball nut and a threaded shaft, which is used to translate rotary motion into linear motion.
How energy efficient are ball screws?
Ball screws are highly energy efficient. Systems utilizing ball screws can achieve linear motion with average efficiencies of 90%, far exceeding the capabilities of linear actuators or screw jacks (typically 40% and 25%, respectively). Additionally, as no energy is being consumed while ball screw systems are at rest, unlike pneumatic and hydraulic systems which require constant pressurization.
What is the expected lifetime of a ball screw?
Ball screw life expectancy varies depending on the load, rated load, shock load, speed, and other factors. If a target lifetime is specified, customizations and adjustments can be made to the features and sizing of the ball screw in order to achieve that goal.
What is the difference between a ball screw and a lead screw?
The most significant difference between ball screws and lead screws is the way in which each device carries its load. Ball screws utilize recirculating ball bearings to minimize friction while simultaneously maximizing efficiency. Lead screws, however, depend on low coefficients of friction between sliding surfaces, leaving them far less efficient and accurate than their ball screw counterparts.
