The Ball Screw
A Ball Screw is a mechanism responsible for converting the rotary motion of a servo motor into the incredibly precise, smooth, and powerful linear movement of the machine's axes. It is an efficient screw and nut assembly that reduces friction within the nut and is designed to allow a multi-ton machine to move with micron-level accuracy. If the ball screw is so much.
Signs You May Need a Ball Screw Replacement
If you are noticing any of the following signs with your machinery, you should consider reaching out to an expert. Our technicians offer advice, replacements and support for improving the efficiency of your systems.
Audible Noises: Grinding, rumbling, or clicking sounds during axis travel are classic indicators that the internal ball bearings are damaged or losing their smooth path.
Increased Backlash: You may notice "slop" or hesitation in axis direction changes, which shows up as flat spots on circular cuts or dimensional inaccuracies on parts.
Poor Surface Finish: The appearance of chatter marks, tool lines, or a generally rough finish on your machined parts often points to vibration caused by a worn screw.
Loss of Positional Accuracy: If you're constantly fighting to hold tolerances and your machine is failing to repeat positions accurately, a worn ball screw is a primary suspect.
Servo Motor Alarms: A failing ball screw increases the load on the servo motor. If you're getting overload or excess error alarms, the screw may be binding or difficult to turn.
