Precision
Modern machine designs impose stringent requirements on the precision and reliability of linear drives. The main challenge lies in ensuring dynamic, backlash-free power transmission from rotary to linear motion while maintaining high rigidity and long service life.
For this reason, the standard of Steinmeyer precision-ground ball screws is defined first and foremost by uncompromising quality, backed by extensive product expertise and the use of exclusively approved processes without deviation - from raw material through to the finished product and its maintenance throughout the entire life cycle. From the very design to qualification testing, each and every step must be carried out in a strictly controlled environment and in a fully repeatable manner.
Positioning ball screws are used in applications demanding the highest levels of accuracy, such as machine tools, and their threads are precision-ground. In accordance with DIN standards, the tolerance classes of positioning ball screws are designated by the symbol "P" (ranging from P0 to P5).
