Does a ball screw have specific requirements for a guide rail?
Release time: 2023-07-12
A ball screw typically does not require a specific guide rail, but it does require a supporting structure that is suitable for its diameter and length. Generally, a ball screw is installed by being placed on a supporting structure and fixed to it using end caps or flanges.
If the diameter and length of the ball screw are large, or high-precision motion is required, a more stable and precise supporting structure and guide rail system are needed to ensure smooth and precise motion. In this case, high-precision linear guides or slide combinations can be used to support the ball screw, ensuring its stability and precision.
