What is a Ball Screw?
A industrial ball screw is a type of mechanical component which translates rotary motion to linear motion with as much as 98% efficiency. To do this, a high-speed ball screw set uses a recirculating ball mechanism, steel balls move along a threaded screw shaft between the screw shaft and the nut.
The steel balls are used to eliminate friction between the nut and the screw shaft and offer a high level of efficiency, load capacity and positioning accuracy.

Ball Screw Application
Ball screw assemblies are well-adapted to various work conditions. They work great for high-performance machine tools and delicate applications such as medical devices.
?
Some specific applications for ball screws:
Electric vehicles – linear motion ball screw set can be used to replace a standard hydraulic system
Wind turbines – precise ball screw assemblies are used in blade pitch and directional position
Solar Panels – high-speed ball screws help to provide two or three axis movements
Hydro Electric Stations – ball screws are used to control gates
Motorised inspection tables – a high-Precision Ball Screw will be used within the mechanism which helps to achieve the desired position of the tables
Lithography equipment – ball screws are used within step photolithography machines in microscopic integrated circuits
Automotive power steering systems – high-quality ball screws are used in automatic steering systems

Ball Screw Advantages
Hojama ball screws have the following advantages;
1. Highly efficient – high-efficiency ball screws require less torque and are smaller than any alternative device.
2. Highly accurate – ball screw kits can offer high positional accuracy as well as repeatability which is desirable for most applications.
3. Low friction – This feature of ball screw function enables them to operate at a lower temperature compared to other alternatives.
4 . Adjustments – ball screw acutator can be adjusted so the preload can be increased or decreased.
5. Long life – Hojama ball screw assembly need less cost to maintance.
6 .various ball screw diameters – Hojama can offer 3mm-100mm in ball screw diameter
Hojama ball screws include Miniature Ball Screws, Precision Ball Screws, Rolled Ball Screws, bidirectional ball screws, and more.
All of our ball screws are manufactured by industry standards, ensuring high precision and repeatability. Moreover, we offer customization services, such as materials, diameter and length, surface treatment processes, and shaft end machining.
