Internal ball bearings provide smooth low-friction travel in applications that require high speeds, accurate positioning, and repeatable movement. Also known as single-start metric ball screws and nuts, these have a single thread that runs the length of the screw.

With multiple thread starts, these metric ball screws create linear travel that’s approximately three times faster than ball screws with a single thread start. They’re ideal for applications with an actuator.

Multiple thread channels (also known as thread starts) create faster linear travel than ball screws with a single thread start.
