 What is the difference between ball screw jack and trapezoidal screw jack?

When to use ball screw jack, When to use trapezoidal screw jack?

Let’s look at the difference between ball screw jack and trapezoidal screw jack with these questions, and explain it roughly from the following 7 aspects.

1. Different structures.
The movement principle of trapezoidal screw jack and ball screw jack is the same, but the difference is that there is no ball in trapezoidal screw, so the movement between nut and screw shaft depends entirely on mechanical contact to produce sliding


2. Different transmission efficiency.

The transmission efficiency of most ball screws is as high as 90%, and some even reach more than 95%, while the transmission efficiency of most trapezoidal screws is lower than 70%. trapezoidal screw is not suitable for high-speed operation, and its maximum speed is generally not more than 3000RPM. And the ball screw, because it is rolling friction, does not generate so much heat, and its speed can reach very high, such as 10000RPM. The efficiency of ball screw is 2-4 times that of trapezoidal screw, so generally speaking, when the same lead is used to drive the same load, ball screw has more advantages.


3. Different self-locking

Ball screw has no self-locking, while trapezoidal screw has certain self-locking .

4. Different materials

The ball screw shaft is generally made of stainless steel or alloy steel.

5. Different manufacturing methods and final precision

Generally, there are two processing methods for ball screw jack, one is grinding and the other is tying. Trapezoidal screw jack has three manufacturing methods: rolling, cutting and grinding.


6. Differences in applications.
Trapezoidal screw jack is sliding friction, too high speed will produce high heat on the joint surface, which will lead to increased wear. Therefore, trapezoidal lead screw jack is suitable for applications with light weight and low speed requirement. At the same time, trapezoidal lead screw, because of its low precision, is often more suitable for applications that do not require high precision, such as slow transfer and handling. Ball screw, with low heat and high precision, is usually more suitable for applications requiring smooth motion, high efficiency, high precision and long-time continuous or high-speed motion.

7. Example of calculation and selection of ball screw jack.
Finally, how to choose the ball screw according to the conditions of precision, speed, load and service life? “How to choose ball screw jack”, contact us and we will share it with you. www.ludetransmission.com

Screw Jack Screw Top End Type & Function

图片
Our commonly used worm gear screw lifts have a total of four screw top end types: plain end, top plate, threaded, and clevis end. These four functions are different, and customers can choose different end types according to their actual use. Worm gear screw lifts are divided into two types according to the structural form. Type I namely translating type, above four end types are available, Type II,namely rotating type, only plain end and threaded end are available . The reason why the type II has no top plate type and clevis end type is because for the type II copper nut must be installed. After installation, the flange or clevis end can no longer be installed. Now let’s see the functions of the four types of screw top end: Plain end type, can be installed on the fixed bearing; top plate type, can directly lift the object , but the flange also can be connected with other equipment; Threaded end type, can be connected with other equipment through the thread, us

Electric Linear Actuator for Sluice Gate

图片
The electric linear actuator is a device that converts the rotational motion of an electric motor into linear motion (push or pull movement) and it can be used anywhere a machine pushes or pulls a load, raises or lowers a load, roughly positions a load, or rotates a load. It is has similar function as worm gear screw jack. As we have mentioned in early articles , t he trapezoidal worm gear screw jack can be used for sluice gate. In fact, electric linear actuator can also be used for sluice gate, usually it is light duty gate. The following picture shows l ighter duty Stainless Steel or Aluminum frames and blades using a compact controller system and Linear Actuators . Designed especially for On-Farm canal  and irrigation control, Check and Delivery gates, where the heaviest duty frame and actuator system is not required.
