- Move Loads and apply force more efficiently than other mechanical actuators
- Permit faster operation and longer life under load
- Require less power by providing positive mechanical action
- Permit synchronisation of multiple units
- Handles full load in tension or compression
- Integral ball screw safety device
Metric ball screw actuators are available as translating or rotating screws in either upright or inverted configurations. In the translating screw type, the ball nut is fixed to the gear and the lifting screw moves up and down through the nut. In the rotating screw type, the screw is fixed to the gear and the ball nut travels along the screw.
