Ball Screw Linear Actuator with NEMA Motor

Ball Screw Linear Actuators with NEMA Motors

Miniature ball screw actuator assemblies of the BS Series combine a precision ball screw, nut, and NEMA motor into a compact, high-performance linear motion solution. These actuators are available in five NEMA frame sizes — 08, 11, 14, 17, and 23 — with screw diameters ranging from 6 mm to 10 mm depending on the motor size and configuration. They are offered with both flanged and cylindrical nut styles to suit different mounting requirements. A preload option is available for applications that demand higher rigidity and superior positional accuracy. Polymer wipers at each end of the nut effectively prevent the ingress of debris and particulates, helping maintain smooth, long-term operation. Standard and custom-machined journals are available, supporting fixed or floating bearing configurations. Fixed and floating end blocks are also offered, providing flexibility for a wide variety of installation needs. For applications requiring more flexibility, the BE Series offers a highly customizable version of these integrated ball screw actuators in the same screw diameter range and five NEMA frame sizes, with multiple motor lengths, a wider range of leads, and various nut options to better match specific force, speed, and positioning requirements.

Features & Specifications of Ball Screw Linear Actuator Motor Assemblies

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a motorized ball screw actuator?
A motorized ball screw actuator is a linear motion device that integrates a motor, ball screw, and nut into a single assembly to convert rotary motion into precise linear movement.
What are miniature ball screw actuators used for?
Miniature ball screw actuators are used in applications that require compact size, high precision, and efficient linear motion, including medical devices, automation systems, semiconductor equipment, and robotics.
What are the advantages of ball screw actuators?
Ball screw actuators provide high efficiency, low friction, precise positioning, and long service life compared to other linear motion solutions.
What is the difference between a ball screw and a lead screw?
Ball screws use recirculating ball bearings to reduce friction and improve efficiency, while lead screws rely on sliding contact, resulting in higher friction and lower efficiency.
What does preload mean in a ball screw actuator?
Preload is the internal tension applied to a ball screw assembly to eliminate backlash, increase stiffness, and improve positioning accuracy.
How do you choose a ball screw actuator?
Choosing a ball screw actuator involves evaluating force, speed, stroke length, positioning accuracy, available space, and whether a standard or customizable configuration is required.
What is a NEMA stepper motor?
A NEMA stepper motor is a standardized motor defined by its mounting dimensions, commonly used in motion control systems for precise and repeatable positioning.
What are fixed and floating bearing configurations?
A fixed bearing supports axial and radial loads and locates the screw, while a floating bearing allows for thermal expansion and prevents binding.
What is the benefit of integrated linear actuators?
Integrated linear actuators reduce assembly time, improve alignment, save space, and simplify system design by combining motor and mechanical components into one unit.
When should you choose a customizable actuator instead of a standard one?
A customizable actuator is best when specific force, speed, resolution, or mounting requirements cannot be met by standard, ready-to-ship configurations.
