Abssac has launched a complete ball screw and nut assembly manufactured entirely out of thermoplastic for applications in clean room, anti-magnetic, surgical, aquatic and corrosive environments.
There is a choice of materials that can be used dependant on application parameters.
Abssac is offering a complete ball screw and nut assembly manufactured entirely out of thermoplastic
For lower cost, the company considers using the thermoplastic polymide or polyacetal as a base material.
In some applications, the Dupont material Vespel can be utilised, which offers high strength and durability and reduces friction and parasitic energy losses in the transmission components.
The new capability delivers lightweight linear accuracy with miniature inertial properties.
The thermoplastic ball screw does not require lubrication.
