Choice and calculation of ball screw for linear actuator
Machines. Technologies. Materials., Vol. 19 (2025), Issue 3, pg(s) 83-86
The selection of an appropriate ball screw for a linear actuator is a critical factor in ensuring precision, efficiency, and durability in automated systems. This paper presents a systematic approach to selecting a ball screw based on key operational requirements, including axial load, travel distance, linear speed, acceleration time, accuracy, backlash tolerance, and service life expectancy. By analyzing and calculating the technical specifications, we determine optimal parameters for high-performance linear actuation.
