Comparison between trapezoidal screw and ball

Lead screw products are easy to adjust in conjunction with the specific application to achieve the desired performance while keeping costs to a minimum.

In some cases, life testing is required during the design phase, but for OEMs, doing this kind of extra work upfront can help reduce the cost of goods. Ball screws can run continuously, handle much higher loads, and reach faster speeds for which the added cost is worth it. For end users, ball screws offer excellent predictability, making them the best choice to ensure rapid integration and reliability.
