Efficient solution for demanding positioning tasks

They enable precise linear movements even in continuous operation and are suitable for many industrial applications: Ball screws from Rodriguez. Both standard industrial applications and applications with increased demands on travel speed can be implemented thanks to variants with driven ball screw nuts. The company offers ball screws in metric and imperial dimensions in accordance with all common industrial standards.

Whether in production and machine tools, robot applications, medical technology or semiconductor production - ball screws convert rotary movements into precise longitudinal movements and vice versa, and do so much more efficiently than trapezoidal screws, for example. By using balls as rolling elements, sliding friction is reduced and a higher level of efficiency is achieved - ideal for dynamic positioning tasks in continuous operation.

Higher performance thanks to a driven ball screw nut

Once the critical speed is reached, conventional ball screws quickly reach their limits in demanding applications. Rodriguez solves this problem with ball screws that have a driven ball screw nut. Together with axial angular contact ball bearings and precision locknuts, the adapted threaded nut forms a powerful, toothed belt-driven unit that delivers optimal results even at high speeds. If requested by the customer, Rodriguez also integrates a corresponding drive wheel.

Other advantages of Rodriguez ball screws

The certified ball screws are rolled, whirled and ground and are also available as a miniature version. The preload and accuracy of the ball screws are set exactly according to customer specifications, while the individual end machining enables easy integration into existing systems. Customers also benefit from a long service life with low-friction movement sequences. Rodriguez also supports system integration and provides spindle bearings to optimally complement existing applications.
