GEISS Glossary
Ball screw
A ball screw is a spindle in which balls act as rolling elements between the screw and the nut. It enables particularly backlash-free, precise and efficient power transmission with minimal friction loss, making it ideal for CNC machines and applications requiring highly accurate linear motion. Compared with conventional rack-and-pinion drives, ball screws offer significantly higher positioning accuracy and a longer service life.
Typical applications of ball screws
Ball screws are used in particular in machine tools, CNC machining centres and other applications where precise motion sequences are critical. Thanks to their precise controllability and low friction, they make a major contribution to repeatability and process stability in automated manufacturing processes.
At GEISS, ball screws are used in CNC machining centres for precise feed movements of the axes, ensuring the highest machining quality and dimensional accuracy.
