Thomson currently has two account systems - one for the website and CAD model downloads, and one for e-commerce. We understand that two logins is an inconvenience and are working to consolidate our systems into one login process. Until we’re able to consolidate the two logins, please follow these guidelines:
L'azionamento della vite a sfera è un gruppo che converte il movimento rotativo in moto lineare (o viceversa). Si compone di una vite e un dado a sfere raggruppati in un gruppo con cuscinetti a ricircolo di sfere. L'interfaccia tra la vite a sfere ed il dado è costituita dalle sfere dle cuscinetto che rotolano nelle scanalature accoppiate. Con gli elementi volventi, la vite a sfere ha un bassissimo coefficiente di attrito ed è in genere ha un efficacia superiore al 90% . Le forze trasmesse sono distribuite su un gran numero di cuscinetti a sfera, dando un basso carico relativo per sfera.
Ideal for high-precision, high-load applications, metric and inch ball screws are manufactured to the highest standards to translate rotational motion to linear motion with minimal internal friction.
Not all precision ball screws are created equal. At Thomson, our careful attention to design, quality, materials, manufacturing and application support has set us apart from the competition and created an ideal recipe for success that has lasted for decades.
When standard Thomson ball screws don’t meet your exact specification requirements, our engineering experts can help customize a solution for your application. Whether it’s one or a large quantity, a simple component modification or complex assembly, our custom capabilities can meet your needs and improve your machine’s performance.
Thomson provides extensive online resources to help you no matter where you may be in the purchase decision process:
What is smart actuation and how can your applications benefit from it? Håkan Persson, the Global Product Line Director for Actuators at Thomson, walks you through the makings of a smart electric actuator, its integrated electronics, where it is best applied and three Thomson actuator families offering these solutions.
L'opzione di sincronizzazione, disponibile con gli attuatori lineari Thomson Electrak HD, consente a Spika Design and Manufacturing di offrire ai clienti piattaforme di lavoro con prestazioni, funzionalità e sicurezza maggiori.
Because ball screws are available in both inch and metric dimensions, designers sometimes begin the specification process by selecting a product family based on the unit of measure. This decision may prematurely exclude the ideal product for the application and lead to significant losses in time, labor and expense. This article explains how sizing and selection questions centered on performance – instead of product monikers – can lead to more efficient linear motion designs.
Learn MoreRoller screws have been promoted as the only technology of choice for handling large loads when size is a constraint. But in actuality, advances in ball screw technology have now enabled the capability to support high-load applications as well. This is important because a high-load ball screw is typically less than half the cost of a comparable roller screw at equivalent performance points.
Used in large-scale production applications that involve continuous lifting operations but still require a human touch, collaboration robots (cobots) are gaining popularity. A French cobot maker has developed a solution that uses ball screw and cable actuators instead of gears, setting a new benchmark for cobot efficiency and safety.
