Ballscrews & Rails

Mechanical positioning components

Ballscrews offer a great way to convert rotational motion to linear motion with a minimal amount of friction. Precision rail guides are highly accurate products for linear motion and are ideally suited for use in a wide variety of machine tools, handling systems and special machinery, as well as in measuring and testing equipment, semi-conductor production machines and medical applications.

Description

Ballscrews offer a great way to convert rotational motion to linear motion with a minimal amount of friction. Ball screws are used in an array of applications ranging from low accuracy transport guides to exceptionally high accuracy precision grade screws. They’re also used in robots, machine tools and precision assembly devices. Perhaps the biggest benefit of a ball screw in general is that it has high efficiencies that can be well over 90%. There are also minimum thermal effects and they can be easily preloaded to eliminate backlash. They also offer smoother movement over the full travel range. Tek-Matic partners with NSK and Thompson to provide a wide range of rolled and precision ballscrews to cover most applications. Please contact us for customs and specials.

Precision rail guides are highly accurate products for linear motion and are ideally suited for use in a wide variety of machine tools, handling systems and special machinery, as well as in measuring and testing equipment, semi-conductor production machines and medical applications. Precision rail guides are available in many different designs, sizes and standard lengths and can incorporate ball, roller or needle roller assemblies or slide coatings. Required accessories for mounting, different end pieces and wipers are available. The use of precision rail guides allows very rigid, smooth running and most accurate constructions of almost any type, according to the building block principle. Have a look to our video about product range and installation. If you don’t find the right guiding in our standard range, please contact us. We will find a solution. Please contact us for customs and specials.
