1. The transmission efficiency is different. The transmission efficiency of the ball screw is as high as 90~96%, while the transmission efficiency of the ordinary screw is about 26~46%. That is to say, under the same size of complexity, the ball screw can use a smaller driving power, which can effectively reduce production costs, reduce losses, and increase more benefits for the enterprise.

2. The transmission speed is different. The ball screw is rolling friction, and the ordinary screw is sliding friction. When the transmission is running, the temperature rise of the former is much lower than that of the latter. The ball screw can undertake high-speed transmission tasks.

 

3. The precision is different. The friction coefficient of the ball screw can be 0, but the ordinary screw directly increases the force at both ends of the sample through linear motion, so it has a certain sliding friction coefficient. Compared with the ball screw, the precision and efficiency are relatively low.

 

4. The service life is different. The surface friction of the ball rolling friction is small. Under the premise of reasonable operation of various cleaning and maintenance, the service life of the ball screw is longer than that of the ordinary screw.

 

5. Difference in self-locking property. Ball screws have almost no self-locking property and have reversibility of transmission; while ordinary screws have self-locking property.

6. Difference in economic efficiency. Ball screws are more complicated than ordinary screws, but they are also better, so the price of ball screws is a little higher than that of ordinary screws.

 

In general, ball screws and ordinary screws have their own advantages and disadvantages, but ball screws are better than ordinary screws in terms of transmission efficiency, transmission speed, accuracy, load, life, etc., so they are more suitable for use in linear slide modules.
