High-Load Ball Screws by Thomson Industries, Inc. 

Thomson Industries, Inc. has introduced a ball screw with more than twice the load capacity of a standard ball screw. The redesigned ball screws handle more than double the load capacity and provide 10 times the service life compared to standard ball screws at equivalent performance points. High-load ball screws are ideal for demanding motion control applications such as injection molding, pressing and large fabrication equipment. Thomson high-load ball screws minimize replacement and maintenance costs significantly for the application. This provides an ideal opportunity to replace roller screws or hydraulic systems in applications with axes that require accurate and safe movement of heavy loads, long and reliable life, and minimum maintenance. The high-load ball screws are available with up to 15 m screw lengths and with single or double nuts. They come in standard sizes up to 160 mm in diameter with up to 1,440 kN of dynamic load capacity.
