kuularuuvi
Kuularuuvi, also known as a ball screw, is a mechanical linear actuator that translates rotational motion to linear motion with very little friction. It consists of a screw shaft with recirculating ball bearings, a nut that travels along the screw, and a housing for the ball bearings. As the screw shaft rotates, the ball bearings recirculate between the threads of the screw and the nut, causing the nut to move linearly along the screw's axis. This design allows for precise and smooth linear movement, making kuularuuvit ideal for applications requiring high accuracy and efficiency. The recirculating balls minimize sliding friction, resulting in a much higher efficiency compared to traditional lead screws. The precise control of movement is achieved through the tight manufacturing tolerances of the screw and nut threads. Kuularuuvit are commonly used in machine tools, automation systems, robotics, and precision measuring equipment where accurate positioning is critical. They can also be found in applications like industrial robots, CNC machines, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The load-carrying capacity of a kuularuuvi is dependent on its size and material properties, and they are designed to withstand significant axial loads.
