(Burlington, MA) -Steinmeyer, Inc. announced a significant addition to its standard line of miniature precision ball screws. The Series 1510, equipped with a spring preloaded double nut, effectively compensates for torque variations due to inaccuracies in the ground thread. The result is extremely smooth motion with near constant idling torque — a critical requirement in many scanning applications. The Series 1510 is available in diameters from 3 to 16 millimeters with pitches down to an incredible 0.5 millimeters! The standard nut body is cylindrical with a convenient attaching thread. A secondary benefit of the spring preload is its inherent ability to compensate for any wear that occurs over time. A complementary product line, the Series 1530 miniature ball screws, is available with rolled thread for less demanding positioning applications. The Series 1530 is offered in a more limited range of diameters from 8 to 16 millimeters, with pitches down to 0.5 millimeters.
