Please don’t go on decision without any fact, choose ballscrew or rack and pinion. We would like to know most difference between these two methods of motion transmission.
| Perticular | Rack and Pinion | Ball screw |
| Accuracy | Low, but high if helical | High |
| Rigidity | High | low |
| Ease of service | Easy | Difficult |
| Motion Speed | High | low |
| resilient to dust | less effect of dust | damages the srew or balls |
| Backshlash | depends on plenetory gearbox | occure as usage |
| Price | Low | High |
| maintanance | no | need lubrication |
| Performance on time | durable | ball size diminish or deform |
| performance on length | no effect on length | vibration and screw sweep |
| Load Carring Capacity | Low | High |
If you have any query or doubt regarding choosing the correct type of motion transmission , feel free to write us back.
