Thompson Ball Screw

Thompson Ball Screws can be created by one of two methods. They can be rolled or they can be ground. Using rolling means putting steel through moulds to create the ball screw, while grinding is used to manufacture thread profiles and leads which are very precise.

Like the majority of these tools, a Thompson Ball Screw is extremely efficient, with a lowest rate of ninety percent. They are also very accurate, a direct result of the manufacturing and engineering skills available in the company. When selecting a Thompson Ball Screw you can select from a range of different sizes. The smallest option is 3/8 inch, while the largest is 4 inches. When the ball screw is being made, careful attention is paid to make certain that every Thompson Ball Screw is exceptionally straight . Those components of the ball screw that have been manufactured by machine are perfectly straight to .005 inch per foot, the cut components are straight to an accuracy of .01 inch per foot.
For metric based schematics, Thompson Ball Screws will put your sets together in those units if preferred, for the diameter and the lead. The range of leads for a Thompson Ball Screw is from 0.125 inch to 2 inches. Lead accuracies are from 0.0003 to 0.1 inch per foot, and changes depending on ball screw. Each Thompson Ball Screw can be customised in terms of finishing, or using standard end machining.
