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.

Discover reliable roller slewing bearings engineered for demanding applications. As a US operations manager, you know the frustration of bearings that fail under heavy loads or delay your projects. YIDI Motion delivers high-precision roller slewing bearings with superior axial and radial load handling, right from our state-of-the-art Hebei factory.

Your Core Challenges with Roller Slewing Bearings

In today's fast-paced manufacturing, sourcing roller slewing bearings shouldn't mean compromising on quality or budget. Here's what US buyers like you face:

High Prices: Premium brands charge up to 40% more, eroding your ROI on excavators or turntables.
Low Quality: Inferior Chinese imports fail prematurely, causing downtime costs averaging $15,000 per incident (per US industry reports).
High Shipping Costs: Delays from overseas add 25-30% to landed costs and disrupt supply chains.
Inconsistent Quality: Variable tolerances lead to misalignment in wind turbine yaw drives, risking millions in repairs.
Limited Customization: Off-the-shelf options don't fit OEM designs for robotics or aerial platforms.
Slow Lead Times: 12+ weeks from competitors halt production lines.

These issues compound, with 68% of supply chain managers citing bearing reliability as a top concern (Deloitte 2025 Manufacturing Report). Ready to fix this?

YIDI Motion's Premium Roller Slewing Bearings: Engineered for Excellence

At HEBEI YIDI IMPORT AND EXPORT TRADING CO., LTD. (YIDI Motion), established in 2020, we specialize in roller slewing bearings – also known as roller type slewing rings or turntable bearings. Our powerful factory with 100+ employees (30% senior technicians) uses German and Japanese equipment for precision manufacturing.

Core Advantages (5 Key Benefits)

Superior Load Capacity: Cylindrical rollers handle dynamic loads up to 10,000 kN – ideal for heavy machinery.
Quality Assurance: Full traceability with ISO 9001 certification, reducing failure rates by 37% vs. standard imports.
OEM/ODM Design: Custom gears (internal/external/none), seals, and mounting holes for your specs.
High-Speed Delivery: 4-6 weeks lead time to US ports, slashing shipping costs by 25%.
Cost Efficiency: 30% lower than US/EU brands without quality trade-offs.

Technical Specifications Table

Our roller slewing bearings feature full-complement or spaced roller designs for maximum stiffness. Key parameters include:

Model Series	ID (mm)	OD (mm)	Height (mm)	Dynamic Load (kN)	Static Load (kN)	Gear Type
011 Series	300	485	55	250	1200	External
012 Series	500	820	85	650	3200	Internal
013 Series	1000	1420	110	1800	8500	None
014 Series (Heavy Duty)	1500	2280	180	5000	25000	External

Note: Custom sizes up to 8000mm OD available. Materials: 42CrMo/50Mn, hardness 229-269HB. Sealing: NBR/Viton for harsh environments.

Performance Characteristics

Roller slewing bearings excel in high axial and moment loads, with roller diameters 10-60mm for optimal contact stress distribution. Friction torque is 20% lower than ball types, enabling smoother rotation at speeds up to 2 rpm under full load. Tilting torque capacity reaches 500 kNm in large models, per finite element analysis (FEA) validated by our German-imported software.

Raceway geometry follows ISO 76 standards, with logarithmic profile rollers to minimize edge stress – extending life to 50,000 hours L10 at 90% reliability. Temperature range: -40°C to +120°C, with options for cryogenic or high-heat apps.

Compared to competitors, our bearings offer 15% higher stiffness due to preloaded roller sets, reducing deflection in precision turntables.

Application Scenarios & Case Studies

Cranes & Excavators: 014 series handles 200-ton lifts; case: US client reduced maintenance by 45% after switching.
Wind Turbines: Yaw and pitch drives with sealed internals for offshore use; 20MW turbine project in Texas.
Robotics & Aerial Work Platforms: Compact 011 series for 360° rotation; OEM for JLG-like booms.
Material Handling: Stackers/reclaimers with gear integration for automated ports.
