There is no physical contact between the screw and nut. As the screw or nut rotates, and the rolling balls reach the trailing end of the nut, they are deflected or guided from this "pitch" contact by means of return tube and returned to the leading end of the circuit. Ball screws offer an efficient means of converting rotary motion to linear motion. A ball screw is an improvement over an acme screw just as an antifriction ball bearing is an improvement over a plain bushing. Ball screw assemblies have a number of bearing balls that transfer the load between the nut and screw. The thread form in which the bearing balls ride is an logical shape formed from two arcs of the same radius with offset centers. This form is also referred to as a gothic arch.

Ball screw lead characteristics:

Lead Accuracy:
Measured in inch/inch or m/25mm.

Ball Circle Diameter:
The diameter of the circle generated by the center of the bearing balls.

Lead:
The distance the nut advances in one revolution (lead = pitch x number of starts).

Root Diameter:
The diameter of the screw at the bottom of the thread groove.

Nominal Ball Diameter:
The approximate diameter of the load carrying balls contained in the ball nut.

Mountain screw gun:
Now it seems that the idea of a gun in two parts had its origin in Russia, having been proposed bin 1876 by Captain Kolokolzor, Director of a factory at Obuchow. In 1877 Colonel le Mesurier RA proposed an RML 7-pr (2.5-inch) steel gun made in two...

Rotary screw:
The most common rotary screw airend is the single stage helical or spiral lobe oil-injected screw and these airends consist of two rotors within housing where the rotors compress the air internally. Oil injected airends operate with oil present...
