Ewellix, formerly SKF Motion Technologies, has launched a new smooth running, high precision large ball screw range for automation and high duty applications that will extend machine reliability and increase service life, while achieving 25% higher speed limits and low noise levels. 

The large SP ball screws are the latest update to Ewellix’s product line and are being launched first in the US where precision ball screws are the preferred choice for automation equipment and machine tool manufacturers. The range features an innovative internal design where balls are picked up smoothly in the ball recirculation path. The reduced friction and impact on the balls result in optimal performance through the new recirculation system compared to existing large ball screws. 

Robust and capable of handling high thrust loads, the screws are supplied in a standard range of nut types available off-the-shelf for shorter delivery times; they are also available as customised solutions to meet any application requirement.
