Telescoping Multi-Extend Ball Screws
Featured at Semicon West
Telescoping multi-extend ball screws from Thomson Saginaw double or better their lengths to save space and offer higher speeds with the accuracy of standard ball screws. They solve difficult tight-space linear actuation problems where pneumatic and hydraulic actuators present bulk and cost restraints. Extended lengths for two screws can be 16 ft and 24 ft for three screws. In addition, they offer higher dynamic load capacity-to-weight ratios than standard ball screws. Inch-size combinations for two right hand screws, for example, range from a 0.500 dia. x 0.200 lead inside a 0.875 x 0.200 o a 2.250 x 1.000 inside a 4.000 x 1.000.
