Electric Ball Screw Actuators: Technology That Transforms Movement

A ball screw actuator is a high-precision mechanical system that transforms rotary motion into linear motion with minimal friction. These actuators combine a user-focused design with proven reliability to meet a wide range of industrial requirements. Electric Ball screw actuators offer precise motion, optimized speed, and reduced energy consumption, ensuring quality, safety, and durability for industrial machines, automated systems, and specialized equipment.

Key Advantages of Electric Ball Screw Actuators

The ball screw is at the heart of the actuator's performance. Compared with a traditional actuator, it offers several technical and economic benefits for industrial machines and equipment.

• Energy efficiency:  The circulation of the balls greatly reduces friction. The result is smoother motion, reduced energy consumption, and extended actuator life.
• High precision and minimal backlash: Thanks to the ball recirculation system, mechanical play (backlash) is almost eliminated. This ensures ultra-precise positioning, even in situations requiring high repeatability.
• Enhanced durability: Reduced mechanical wear increase resistance in demanding environments and minimizes maintenance needs.
• Smooth movement: ideal for environments with high vibration or frequent change in direction.

By incorporating a ball screw, electric actuators become an optimal solution for industries where robustness, accuracy, and reliability are essential, whether in heavy industrial applications, off-road vehicles, or automated systems.

Versatile Applications of Electric Ball Screw Actuators

Electric ball screw actuators are known for their strength and reliability.

Here are some common applications where they are widely used :

• Machine tools and industrial robots: for precise and repeatable movements, essential for quality and productivity.
• Conveyor and positioning systems: optimal control of movement on automated production lines.
• Heavy-duty applications: safe and consistent lifting and moving of heavy loads.
• AMR/AGV (autonomous mobile robots and automated guided vehicles): reliable integration to ensure precise linear motion, essential for smart logistics and warehouse automation.
