Save up to 70% on ball screw costs | Thomson rolled ball screws with P3 accuracy for precision applications |
|
| | Dear Mr. Do, | | High-precision processes and precision applications often require ball screws with an accuracy class of P3 and there is a common misconception among mechanical design engineers that this accuracy can only be achieved with ground-thread screws. | | Thomson Neff Industries in Germany offers rolled ball screws with a lead accuracy class of P3 (12 µm / 300 mm), manufactured using its proprietary rolling process called Precision Screw Forming Technology (PSF). This process provides the same precision standards as ground screws but costs up to 70% less. |
|
| This high precision is achieved through several factors: | - Raw material selection to meet precisely defined specifications.
- Proprietary forming and subsequent heat treatment processes use the latest technology.
- The rolling process produces a stronger material grain structure, resulting in a higher fatigue strength and longer service life compared to ground screws.
|
|
| Features and benefits include: | - Lengths up to 15 m; diameters of 12 - 80 mm, leads of 5 - 50 mm.
- Maximum dynamic loads up to 480 kN.
- Available with single or double ball screw nuts (flanged or cylindrical).
- Application expertise and advice from Thomson engineers.
- Customized products – even with smaller quantities; special solutions for harsh environments.
- Thomson Neff Industries GmbH is DIN ISO 9001: 2015 certified.
|
|
Ideal applications include: | - Machining centers.
- Machine tools (turning, milling, grinding, drilling).
- Metal forming, stamping presses, water jet cutting.
- Factory automation.
- Precision industrial robots.
- Manufacturing of electronic assemblies.
- Packaging equipment.
- Medical equipment.
