Rolled or ground ball screw?

2023-07-07

Ball screws are used in a wide range of applications – from screw presses to machine tools and assembly equipment. They’re a reliable and efficient way to convert rotary motion into linear movement, offering high precision, low friction, and long service life.

The difference between rolled and ground ball screws.

The choice between a rolled and a ground ball screw depends on your application’s specific needs.

A rolled ball screw is formed by rolling during production to achieve its final lead. This process is much faster than grinding, which also makes it the more cost-effective option. Rolled ball screws are a great fit for general production equipment.
