Precision Ball screws and Lead screws
Thomson Neff Ball screws are ideal for use in all technological and mechanical engineering applications such as Machine Tools, Aircraft construction, Handling equipment, Industrial Robots, Medical equipment and many many more. Our varied and extensive product range is bound to contain the right drive for almost any motion task from very small thread drives for highly sensitive medical devices right through to precision accuracy ball screws for high performance machine tools with very high demands in terms of speed and stiffness.
Precison Ball Screws
Thomson Neff recirculating ball screws are manufactured in rolled, ground and whirled versions and are available in tolerance classes P3, P5, T5 ,T7 and even up to P0. We can supply screws from 6mm dia up to 200mm dia with various pitch sizes to suit all application requirements.
Our range of BSA precision lead screws are easy running, precise and cost effective which will be an outstanding and economical solution to your linear requirements. Our precision rolling process guarantees precision positioning to 0.075mm/300mm and our coating method using PTFE creates lead screw systems with lower drag torque and higher service life. Thomson has a wide range of plastic nut systems available in the form of anti-backlash or standard Supernuts®.
Our lead screws and nuts can be supplied with high axial stiffness, zero backlash, and very low drag torques.
