Screw drive overview

For everything you want to move: Eichenberger screw drives drive it - quickly, precisely and reliably.

Energy efficiency, resource conservation, noise and pollutant reduction: even a simple mechanical drive element has to meet increasingly ambitious requirements in the age of automation, digitalization and miniaturization. That is why we are constantly working on the further development of our screw drives with a passion for perfect motion. Eichenberger innovations enable amazing loads in a small installation space. Sophisticated deflections in the nut provide you with outstanding advantages.

Is a standard screw drive still unable to meet your requirements? Then we can develop and manufacture your individual customized screw drive solution. We venture into exotic materials, thread forms or dimensions that are outside the norm. Where else can you get a ball screw with dimensions of 9.3 x 2.125 mm?

Eichenberger standard screw drives

Eichenberger quality: also for standard screw drives
Our core range consists of two groups: Ball screws with recirculating ball screws based on the roller bearing principle and lead screws in the form of screw drives with sliding nut and screw thread flanks. All screw drives are manufactured using the cold rolling process.

Developed for maximum performance

All Eichenberger lead screws are manufactured using the thread rolling process. Nevertheless, the two design series of the standard range - ball screw drives (ball screws based on the rolling bearing principle) and sliding screw drives (screw drives with nut and screw thread flanks sliding on each other) - have very different performance characteristics, which are shown in the diagram opposite.

Core competence thread rolling - cold-rolled precision

The core manufacturing expertise of Eichenberger Gewinde AG lies in thread rolling. Accordingly, the thread profiles of Eichenberger threaded spindles are produced exclusively using this high-precision process.

Thread rolling refers to the cold forming of the lateral surface of round parts. A thread is created by deforming a workpiece under radial-dynamic force between the two rotating rolling tools. As the rolling tool profiles penetrate the surface of the workpiece, the cold material is pressed into the base of the thread rolling tools and thus rolled up to the nominal dimension.

The advantages of thread rolling:

  • Significant increase in strength through cold forming
  • Very good roughness values on the thread flanks and in the base radius
  • Reduced notch sensitivity
  • No interruption of the grain flow as with machined threads
  • High dimensional accuracy
  • Efficient and fast production
  • Extremely cost-effective, especially for medium and large quantities
