Ballscrews, also known as ball bearing screws or recirculating ballscrews, are used in a wide range of applications across virtually all areas of industry. They convert rotary motion into linear motion. Between the shaft, more precisely the threaded shaft, and the nut, the balls roll infinitely via a ball recirculation system, guaranteeing frictionless motion for your application. HIWIN offers a huge selection of spindle drives / drive spindles along with matching accessories.
The safety nut consists of a ballscrew unit and a safety unit. The safety nut basically works just like a normal ballscrew nut. If the axial play increases due to wear, ball breakage or ball loss, the thread of the safety unit comes into contact with the ballscrew. This means the nut cannot be penetrated. The normal function of the unit is guaranteed up to an axial play of 0.4 mm.
