What exactly is the lead screw used for?

The rotation of the shaft end motor is converted into linear motion through the relative rotation of the lead screw and nut. So as to achieve high-precision displacement positioning. On the contrary, it can also change linear motion into rotary motion.
The lead screw includes trapezoidal lead screw and ball screw.
Ball screw is mostly used in precision transmission occasions, such as CNC machine tools, CNC cutting machines, engraving machines, punch machines, etc;
Equipment requiring high positioning accuracy, such as glass machinery, ceramic machinery, woodworking machinery, packaging machinery, circuit board packaging and other occasions;
The ball screw has high transmission efficiency, which is suitable for high-speed, frequent forward and reverse transmission mechanism. It is widely used in machine tool, automobile, aviation and other manufacturing industries.
The system with ball screw as the core function is highly integrated, simple, efficient, energy-saving, reliable and clean, which is the best choice to replace the complex hydraulic system.
With the development of industrial automation, the linear module composed of lead screw, slide block, linear guide rail, etc., has become more and more widely used.
Including industrial robots, manipulators and other fields have been widely used.
