What Is a Ball Screw and How Does It Work?

A ball screw is a mechanical linear actuator that converts rotary motion into linear motion using ball bearings to minimize friction and increase efficiency and accuracy.

What Types of Ball Screws Do You Offer?

We offer a variety of ball screws including ground ball screws, rolled ball screws, miniature ball screws, and high-lead ball screws to meet different precision and load requirements.

How Do I Choose the Right Ball Screw for My Application?

Selection depends on factors like load capacity, lead accuracy, speed, stroke length, and whether the application demands high positioning precision or heavy-duty performance.

What Is the Difference Between Ground and Rolled Ball Screws?

Ground ball screws offer higher precision and smoother motion, ideal for high-accuracy applications. Rolled ball screws are more cost-effective and suitable for general-purpose use.

What Maintenance Is Required for a Ball Screw?

Regular lubrication is essential. Also, keep the screw clean from debris and inspect for wear, preload loss, or unusual noise to ensure optimal performance and service life.

Why Your Current Servo Motors Are Costing You Thousands

As a purchasing manager in the USA industrial sector, you face relentless pressure to cut costs while maintaining uptime. High performance servo motors are critical for automation, yet common issues plague your operations.

High Prices: Imported motors from competitors hit $500-$2000 per unit, eroding your margins in a competitive market.
Low Quality: Frequent failures lead to 37% unplanned downtime (per McKinsey 2025 report), costing factories $50K+ monthly.
High Shipping Costs: Delays from overseas suppliers add 20-30% to landed costs, especially with 2026 tariffs looming.
Inconsistent Torque: Motors underperform in high-load scenarios, reducing precision in CNC and robotics by up to 15%.
Poor Customization: Off-the-shelf options don't fit OEM needs, forcing expensive modifications.
Weak After-Sales: Limited support means weeks of lead time for repairs in your fast-paced environment.

These pain points aren't just inconvenient—they directly impact your ROI. Discover how YIDI Motion changes that.
