Ballscrews, also known as ball bearing screws or recirculating ballscrews, are used in a wide range of applications across virtually all areas of industry. They convert rotary motion into linear motion. Between the shaft, more precisely the threaded shaft, and the nut, the balls roll infinitely via a ball recirculation system, guaranteeing frictionless motion for your application. HIWIN offers a huge selection of spindle drives / drive spindles along with matching accessories.
The driven nut unit consists of a ballscrew unit and a bearing unit. The driven nut unit basically works just like a normal ballscrew nut, the difference being that the shaft is stationary. In applications with a very large stroke, ballscrews can be operated highly dynamically without being limited by the critical speed of the shaft.
