Ball screws & recirculating ball screws

Carry: The Hercules of screw drives - a powerhouse with impressive features

Our Ball screws and ball screws not only deliver the performance you expect - they exceed it. High efficiency, exceptional travel speed, robustness and Swiss precision give you a clear competitive advantage.

Avoid unnecessary costs and energy losses - Carry sets new standards. A comparison with nature makes it clear: Like an ant, which can carry 50 times its own body weight, our Carry can handle 1000 times its own weight - with a spindle diameter of just 40 mm.

Design features of the Carry ball screw drive

The rolled Carry ball screw drives impress with their outstanding manufacturing quality and precision. They are the ideal solution for applications where Large loads reliable, energy-efficient and inexpensive have to be moved. Due to the Cold forming the material strength is significantly increased, while innovative deflection systems Exceptionally high gradient angles make this possible. Our ball screws achieve travel speeds that exceed those of ground versions - and do so safely, without exceeding critical speed ranges.

  • High load ratingsfor high static and dynamic loads
  • Exceptional speedMedium to high travel speeds due to oversquare thread pitches (p > d)
  • Maximum efficiencyHigh efficiency of η > 0.9
  • Energy savingsreduced drive power, minimal energy consumption and self-heating
  • Smooth running: Low-friction, stick-slip-free operation
  • Precision: High positioning and repeat accuracy
  • LongevityHigh reliability and long service life with minimal maintenance requirements
  • Dirt scraperOptionally available for applications in challenging environments

Individual solutions offer you higher power density, less maintenance and optimized costs, giving you a decisive competitive advantage. Use the full potential of customized precision - for more efficiency, more performance and sustainable profitability.

Application examples for ball screws

Due to their high efficiency, ball screw drives are used in particular where rapid movement processes with extremely high cycles of forward, backward and vertical movement take place. High accuracy, freedom from backlash and travel speed are among the most important requirements.

In the spindles, the forces between the threads of the spindle and the nut are transmitted via balls that rotate in a closed system. Compared to the sliding friction of trapezoidal screws, the rolling friction of ball screws offers numerous advantages.
