Steinmeyer Xi-Plus line of precision ball screws: Smoothest raceways ever deliver quiet performance

By Lisa Eitel | August 29, 2016

Steinmeyer now sells a new ball screw line called Xi-Plus. These screws feature the manufacturer’s smoothest raceway surface ever to get significantly quieter operation with reduced vibration for every application. More after the jump.

Xi-Plus precision ball screws are manufactured in Germany like all Steinmeyer products. The ball screws undergo a proprietary finishing process that removes micron-sized defects on the shaft raceway. These defects are responsible for high pitched “whistling” and rough running characteristics.

“Steinmeyer has a long history of delivering linear motion innovations that improve the performance of our customers’ systems,” said Bruce Gretz, Executive Vice President of Steinmeyer, Inc. “Xi-Plus precision ball screws are an outstanding solution for applications that require smooth and quiet operation.”

Like all Steinmeyer products, Xi-Plus precision ball screws offer dynamic delivery of linear motion at high standards of precision and longevity. The screws feature shaft diameter between 16-125 mm and all nut styles are available.
