The Role of Ball Screws in CNC Lathes

Ball screws are the core component of the transmission system in CNC lathes. They are manufactured with excellent techniques and high precision, and undergo overall quenching and hardening heat treatment. They have extremely low wear and a long service life, with excellent surface activity. Combined with ultra-precision balls, the operation is smooth without any stalling, enabling precise control of micro-metric movements. Both ends have built-in dust-proof covers for sealing, which can effectively prevent iron filings and cutting fluids from penetrating and avoiding internal structure wear and jamming.

It converts the rotational motion of the servo motor into the linear feed motion of the tool rest. The transmission efficiency is over 40% higher than that of ordinary screws. The reverse clearance is almost negligible, allowing for precise control of the tool rest's cutting path, ensuring the processing accuracy of processes such as turning, drilling, and milling. It is the core supporting component for CNC lathes to achieve high-precision and high-efficiency automated processing.
