3 Types Of Ball Screw You Should Know

A Ball Screw WHF (บอลสกรู WHF; which is the term in Thai) is a type of model number of Ball Screw. Here, Ball screw is a mechanical tool that is used to shift a rotational motion to linear motion. For moving the nut or other machinery milling items, in a straight line instead of rotating it, the ball screw works. With little friction added to the operation of the machine can lead the ball screws to move in a straight line or linear motion from a rotatory motion.

The Ball screws are used in many industries and machinery working places. Because it is required for motion in lathes, milling machines, and other CNC machines. Moreover, for high-tech applications in the robotics field, ball screws are highly used. This Ball screw is used even for attachment of the nuts or ball screws in robotics arms and legs.

Not only just in the industry of machines and irons. But, also for high-tech applications including Aerospace systems, making medical equipment for surgery, and for manufacturing welding systems of the automotive industry, these Ball screws are used.

Other than these uses, you should know about different types of ball screws that are used in different industry for different works. For every different use, there are several types of Ball screws used. Such are as follows,

1. Rolled Ball Screws

Rolled ball screws are used for medical applications or tool making of woodworking machinery sections. A rolled ball screw produced force by moving blank bar material through rolling dies.

2. Lock Nuts

The lock nuts are the type of Ball screw that is used to fix the bearing with shaft thread. The lock nuts securely fix the fastener to the screw which helps in locking the nuts and easily fastening the material.

3. Precision Ball Screw

The precision ball screw is one of the types of Ball screws that includes the Ball Screw WHF model number. This Ball screw is used for the aircraft tool-making section. Moreover, the missiles and aircraft controller tools need this type of ball screw. Here, the ball screws are tightened and used to move the control surfaces of aircraft and missiles.

Hence, these are the some of types of ball screws that are discussed above. Many other types of ball screws are used for different purposes.

Conclusion

Ball screw WHF is the model number included in the Precision type of ball screw.  The precision ball screw type provides high accuracy to the machine using screw shaft ground.  Hence, these are the types of ball screws highly used in the functioning of machines in every type of industry.
