Ball Screw & Lead Screw Assemblies
Ball screws and lead screws, essential for precise linear motion, utilize distinct mechanisms to drive movement in applications like lab automation and medical devices, and are compatible with NEMA 08–23 motors or hand cranks. Ball screws employ helical grooves to guide ball bearings within a nut, ensuring smooth, high-efficiency motion, with PBC Linear offering precision-rolled 1050 steel screws in 6, 8, and 10 mm diameters and 1, 2, and 2.5 mm leads, paired with cylindrical or flanged nuts in assemblies. Lead screws, a cost-effective alternative, rely on sliding contact between threads and a nut, using PTFE-coated stainless steel screws for corrosion resistance, low wear, and minimal flaking. Lead screws are available in a broader range of diameters and leads with round or triangular nuts, some featuring patented Constant-Force Anti-Backlash technology to minimize play. Select assemblies integrate PowerPlus motor technology, boosting torque by 25–40% for enhanced performance in precision-driven tasks.
