What Is a Ball Screw?
Simply put, it turns the motor’s rotation into the worktable’s linear motion. Screw turns, table moves—all thanks to steel balls rolling in between.Ordinary threads “slide.” Ball screws “roll.” Less friction, higher efficiency, longer life.
Why It’s a Big Deal？
| Superpower | How Good? |
|---|---|
| High Efficiency | Over 90% (vs 30% for ordinary threads) |
| High Precision | Micron level—1/50 of a hair |
| Long Life | Lasts years |
| Zero Backlash | No lost steps in reverse |
| Smooth Motion | No stick-slip, ultra-smooth |
Where’s It Used?
| Industry | What For |
|---|---|
| Machine Tools | CNC mills, machining centers, lathes |
| Automation | Robots, gantry robots |
| Semiconductor | Wafer handling, inspection |
| New Energy | Solar, lithium battery lines |
| Medical | CT scanners, surgical robots |
What Can FODA BEARING Do?
A ball screw’s performance depends on its support bearings at both ends. That’s FODA’s specialty:
Screw Support Bearings:Angular contact ball bearings—handle axial loads, keep screws stable and accurate. FODA’s 60° contact angle design runs cool even at high speed.
Fixed End Bearing Units:Pre-assembled units with bearings—ready to use. No bearing selection, no clearance adjustment. Just install and go.
Custom Solutions:Special conditions? Non-standard designs? Call FODA. We spec it, we supply it, we support it.
