Ballscrews and roller screws solve welding demands

A SKF UK product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Apr 28, 2004

SKF ballscrews and roller screws provide a high rigidity drive system, which gives flexible and controllable operational sequence.

Present hydraulic or pneumatic solutions do not necessarily provide the performance demanded by the automotive industry in spot-welding applications.

Changing from hydraulic to all-electric drives on spot-welding machinery gives users and machine designers the benefits of higher yield through more precise operations, lower maintenance, reduced electrode wear, lower power consumption and a more compact installation.

In addition, better environmental conditions can be established for the workforce, through noise reduction and the elimination of the problems associated with hydraulic leakage and fire hazards.

SKF ballscrews and roller screws provide a high rigidity drive system, which gives flexible and controllable operational sequence.

The roller screw accommodates higher loads, acceleration and maintains higher linear speeds with a more rigid power transmission.

With a higher power density roller screw solutions are often more compact than those using ballscrews.

These features give the high precision and process consistency demanded of modern, high productivity applications.
