Ball Screw

Shop ball screws at ZIVON Canada for CNC machinery, automation equipment, and precision linear motion applications. Ball screws convert rotational movement into controlled linear travel using a recirculating ball mechanism between the screw shaft and nut. They are commonly used in mechanical systems that require efficient motion transmission, smooth operation, and accurate positioning.

Whether you are sourcing components for a new machine, upgrading existing equipment, or replacing parts in a motion control system, explore our selection of ball screws and compatible components for your mechanical application.

Ball Screws for Linear Motion Systems

Ball screws are used in CNC machines, automated equipment, positioning systems, and other industrial applications that require controlled linear movement. Their rolling-ball mechanism helps reduce friction between the screw shaft and nut compared with conventional sliding-contact screw systems.

Choosing the right ball screw depends on the motion requirements of your application, including load capacity, travel speed, positioning accuracy, operating conditions, and mounting arrangement. Reviewing these requirements helps you identify a suitable solution for your equipment.

Ball Screw Assemblies and Components

A ball screw assembly typically consists of a threaded screw shaft and a compatible ball nut that transfers movement along the shaft. Depending on the application, additional support and mounting components may be required to integrate the assembly into a machine.

When selecting ball screws and related components, consider screw dimensions, lead, nut compatibility, accuracy requirements, and the available installation space. Proper component matching is important for achieving the intended motion and supporting reliable operation.

How to Choose the Right Ball Screw

Before purchasing a ball screw, evaluate the key requirements of your motion system:

– Load capacity: Determine the axial load the assembly must handle.
– Lead and travel speed: Match the screw’s movement per revolution to the required operating speed.
– Positioning accuracy: Consider the accuracy and repeatability required by your application.
– Screw and nut compatibility: Confirm that the components are designed to work together.
– Mounting and support: Check the installation dimensions and bearing support arrangement.
– Operating conditions: Consider lubrication, duty cycle, alignment, and maintenance requirements.

Comparing these factors with the available product specifications helps you select ball screw components suited to your equipment.
