For dynamic positioning applications
Ballscrews and trapezoidal screw drives transform a rotational into a longitudial motion and vice versa. Rodriguez offers both types of threaded spindles in both metric and imperial dimensions and in all major industry standards. Thereby, ballscrews, which work with balls as rolling elements, offer a higher efficiency than trapezoidalscrews which is exposed to a sliding friction.
Similarly, a ballscrew is preferably used for dynamic positioning applications during a continuous operation. Trapezoidalscrews on the other hand are ideal for slow movements or clamping tasks with a short duty cycle.
Ballscrew with driven ballnut AMFH
For conventional ballscrews speed is an obstacle for the implementation in many industrial applications. The longer the ballscrew spindle, the higher the risk will be that the required speed cannot be achieved due to the critical revolution-speed of the spindle. In these cases we recommend the use of a ballscrew with a driven ballnut.
The combination of custom ballscrew nut, axial angular contact ball bearings and and a precision threaded nut will yield a powerful, toothed belt driven unit that delivers optimum results even at high speeds. Upon request, a corresponding drive wheel can also be integrated.

Other series of ballscrews
Rolled ballscrews are used in diverse applications to generate linear movements, lifting and clamping tasks, for instance in packaging machines, woodworking and plastic processing machines, as well as for the solution of diverse other handling and positioning tasks.
High precision ballscrews are manufactured on a customized basis. Due to the very high overall accuracy in conjunction with preloaded single and double nuts, these ballscrew drives are the ideal solution for demanding applications, for instance in the machine tool industry as well as for the implementation of measuring tasks.
