History Of Ball Screw Development

Jan 18, 2021

The history of people using screws for transmission is actually not very long. Traditional screws have always been poorly positioned and easily damaged. It was not until 1898 AD that people first tried to put steel balls between the nut and the screw to replace sliding friction with rolling friction to improve the poor positioning and easy damage.

In 1940, the ball screw was placed on the automobile steering device, which was a huge revolution in the application of the ball screw and gradually replaced the traditional ACME screw (ACME). Until recent years, ball screws have become one of the most widely used components in the industry.
