Selecting the Proper Screw
Ball Screw Advantages
- Improves speed, force, and duty cycle
- Longer and predictable life cycle
- Requires less motor power
- Heavier loads
- Greater accuracy
- High efficiency (less friction)
Acme Screw Advantages
- Preloaded nut assembly eliminates backlash
- Safe to operate under static load to hold
- Self-locking - no need for brakes (even in power outage)
- Low noise (no rolling components)
- Ideal for vertical and light/moderate loads
- Eliminates backlash
- Lower cost solution
Roller Screw Advantages
- Highest efficiency rolling motion
- Carry large loads with very high resolution
- Small axial movement (even with very shallow leads)
- High rotational speeds with faster acceleration
- The most reliable screw solution available
- Higher cost option with highest performance
