A ball screw converts rotary motion into linear motion, while a linear guide provides linear guidance with low friction. They are often used together in motion systems.
Accuracy grades range from C3 (high precision) to C7 (general use). Choose based on the required positioning accuracy of your application; verify with the manufacturer.
Regular lubrication is necessary, either grease or oil depending on speed and load. Check sealing protection (IP54–IP65) for dusty or wet environments. Monitor for increased noise or play.
Common failures include loss of lubrication, contamination, overloading, and wear. Exceeding load ratings or operating outside temperature limits can cause premature failure.
