Acme ScrewAcme ScrewThe nut grooves ride in the matching acme screw grooves, much like the nut & bolt which yields a high friction system.



[email protected]

Sold & Serviced By:


Ball ScrewBall ScrewThe nut utilizes one or more circuits of re-circulating steel balls which roll between the nut & ball screw threads (grooves), providing a low friction system.



[email protected]

Sold & Serviced By:


Ball Screw with Ball Screw with TurciteTurcite NutNutVery similar in operation to an acme screw system. Nut contacts screw grooves differently thus producing a more efficient, higher speed & higher duty cycle assembly than an acme.

Sold & Serviced By:


Repeatability is Most ImportantRepeatability is Most ImportantIf your system is repeatable - you can make it more accurate for a given application by having the electronic position controller move a little bit more, or a little bit less, to get to the exact position required - then rely on the repeatability of the overall system to move back to this location over & over again

People frequently mistake Repeatability for People frequently mistake Repeatability for AccuracyAccuracy

Remember to ask your customer if they are looking for a repeatable system OR an accurate systemHelp them to understand the difference
