Ball Screw Manufacturer: Quick Tips for Ball Screw Maintenance

The manufacturer of ball screws states that both the ball screw and the nut feature helical grooves with a semicircular cross-section. The nut is equipped with steel balls that guide the fluid circuit. As the ball screw rotates, these steel balls not only spin within the dovetail guide rail but also circulate along the dovetail guide rail’s closed-loop system, thereby causing the worktable to move radially. Thanks to their advantages—such as high-speed operation, high rigidity, reversibility, long service life, and easy maintenance—ball screws have found widespread application in the modern CNC machine tool industry, making them one of the key distinguishing features of CNC lathes compared to conventional machine tools.
