The rise of the robotics industry has driven the market for automation accessories and intelligent systems. Ball screws, as transmission accessories, can be used as the key force arm of robots because of their high precision, high torque, high rigidity and long life. Ball Screws offer good efficiency and thrust, and this combination of performance and characteristics makes ball screws an ideal solution for robots and their related applications.
The primary role of a ball screw is to control the trajectory and attitude of a robot. Robots are typically required to move freely in three-dimensional space and control the position and attitude of their end-effector as required by the task. Ball screws enable robots to complete their movements quickly and accurately, improving efficiency and precision.
Robot Grippers: Ball screws provide the high level of gripping force required by grippers with minimal torque through a combination of high thrust and low input torque.
Robot Arm Ends: The high thrust and low weight (mass) of Ball Screws are critical for components located at the end of robot arms. Their excellent power-to-weight ratio is the key reason why robotic spot welders and automated riveting machines use ball screws for their drives.
Ball screws offer a size ratio that is superior to other technologies. For example, ball screws as small as 3.5 mm in diameter can push loads up to 500 lbs. and perform motions in the micron and submicron range to better mimic human joints and fingers. Extremely high force-to-size and force-to-weight ratios also make ball screws an ideal solution.
Whether it is a UAV or an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), their requirements are similar: high efficiency, strength and reliability in the smallest possible footprint. KGG offers ball screw designs that provide the ideal combination of thrust, size, weight and efficiency to improve product performance and reliability.
In summary, the use of ball screws in robotics and automation systems is of great importance. It greatly improves productivity and precision, reduces energy consumption and operating costs, but also takes into account its environmental requirements. Therefore, when selecting ball screws, its applicability and reliability need to be fully considered to avoid failure and damage in the working process.
