Ball screws are widely used in high-precision CNC machine tools. Their main function is to provide high-precision position adjustment and force transmission in the moving parts of the machine tool. Here are some of the main applications and advantages of ball screws in high-precision CNC machine tools:

1. Position accuracy and repeatability: CNC machine tool ball screws can provide relatively high position accuracy and repeatability through the way their balls rotate. This is crucial for high-precision CNC machine tools that require precision cutting, milling, grinding and other processes.

2. High-speed movement: Due to the ball transmission method, the CNC machine tool ball screw has lower friction resistance than the traditional nut and screw system, so it is suitable for high-speed CNC machine tools. This is very important to improve production efficiency and processing speed.

3. Rigidity and load capacity: The structural design of the CNC machine tool ball screw makes it highly rigid and able to withstand large loads. This is very critical for CNC machine tools to perform heavy-load operations such as cutting and milling to ensure machine tool stability and processing quality.

4. Long service life: The CNC machine tool ball screw adopts ball circulation and rotation, which has a longer service life than the traditional screw drive. This is an important advantage to ensure the reliability and stability of machine tools under high-intensity and high-frequency working conditions.

5. Zero clearance: The design of the CNC machine tool ball screw can achieve almost zero clearance transmission, which helps to avoid the return error in traditional screw transmission and improve the positioning accuracy of the machine tool.

6. Automatic lubrication system: High-precision CNC machine tools usually use automatic lubrication systems to ensure that the ball screw maintains good lubrication during movement and improves its life and performance.

Generally speaking, the application of ball screws in high-precision CNC machine tools is mainly reflected in providing high-precision position control, supporting high-speed motion, withstanding large loads, and having a long life. These characteristics make the ball screw one of the important transmission components in the design of modern CNC machine tools.
