Screw drives
Screw drives are the perfect solution for applications requiring precise, reliable linear motion and a robust mechanical design that performs consistently under load. Depending on the spindle technology, they convert rotary movement into controlled travel and combine key benefits such as safe load holding through self-locking characteristics, smooth operation, and high efficiency. This makes them a proven alternative wherever stability, repeatability, and energy-conscious performance are important in industrial environments.
Our portfolio covers a wide range of requirements, from trapezoidal screw drives for self-locking solutions, to ball screw spindles for higher traverse speeds and shorter cycle times, to high-precision ball screws for position-critical tasks with minimal axial play. With multiple sizes, materials, and nut designs, each solution can be configured to match your interfaces and performance targets. If a standard product is not the best fit, we can develop a custom screw drive solution tailored to your application.
Screw Drives with Trapezoidal Spindle
Screw Drives with Trapezoidal Spindle are cost-effective and provide an economical solution for drive systems. Their simple design and low production costs make them an attractive option for projects with a limited budget. The Screw Drive offers high safety through its self-locking feature. This property prevents unintended falling or shifting of loads, as the drive's self-locking mechanism ensures stable positioning, while the robust construction ensures reliable and long-lasting performance, even under heavy use.
According your application you can chose from a wide variety of sizes, nuts and materials.
3 reasons why a Screw Drive with Trapezoidal Spindle could be perfect for your project:
- Low acquisition costs
- Flexibility in your design
- Low downtime for high yield
Ball Screw Spindles
As demands for speed and cycles increase, Ball Screw Drives come into focus. With Ball Screw Spindles, higher traverse speeds and shorter cycle times are possible compared to common Screw Jacks. We offer Ball Screw Spindles in these materials:
- 42CrMo4V
- 50CrMo4
- Cf-53
To safely transmit axial forces, you need a worm wheel matched to the spindle. In our product portfolio, you'll find different types of nuts:
- Short nut
- Single flange nut
- Safety nut
High-Precision Ball Screws
If you’re looking for precision drive technology that delivers both technical excellence and cost efficiency, our High-Precision Ball Screws are the perfect choice. Being rated from accuracy classes C7 to C1, makes them ideal for ultra-precise applications. For position-critical tasks, preloaded nuts are used to reduce axial play to virtually zero and minimize friction thus enabling precise motion at both low and high speeds.
Whether you need a single unit or a complete series, you can count on consistent precision and dedicated customer service.
- Cost-effective without compromising on quality
- Efficiency up to 98%
- Long service life thanks to minimal wear

Your advantages
Cost-effective Drive Solution
One main reason for the cost-effectiveness of Screw Drives is their relatively simple production and the low number of components used. Therefore, compared to standard drive solutions like Screw Jacks, Screw Drives can be up to 50% cheaper.
Low Design Effort
Screw Drives are typically standardized and easy to integrate into existing designs. This minimizes the effort for developing custom solutions and saves time in the development phase.
Low Assembly Effort
The low assembly effort stems from the minimal number of parts in a Screw Drive, leading to fewer labor hours during assembly. Additionally, Screw Drives are optionally supplied with fixed and loose bearings.
High Safety Factor
Trapezoidal screw spindles offer a high level of safety as a drive due to their self-locking thread, eliminating the need for costly brakes.
Short Cycle Times
Ball screw spindles can swiftly move loads as a drive because they have low rolling friction. This results in short cycle times for maximum efficiency.
Maximum Accuracy
Thanks to tight lead tolerances and excellent surface quality, High-Precision Ball Screw Drives deliver extremely precise motion.
