Replacing precision ground ball screws on legacy equipment is complicated by the dissolving of original manufacturers and by product customizations. Offering multiple types of ball screw return designs provides the flexibility needed to keep older equipment running. The long life of machine tool equipment has resulted in machine tools which are often older than their […]
