TwinSpin® high-precision backlash-free cycloidal reduction gearboxes

One of the primary challenges faced by OEM engineers is the development of more compact applications that can accommodate greater loads while ensuring smooth and precise movement without sacrificing machine performance.

The Thomson miniature precision ball screws, engineered and produced in Germany, offer exceptional load capacity in limited spaces. They feature a distinctive multi-start ball return mechanism that enhances support for heavier loads while ensuring precise, smooth, and silent operation.

 

  • Screw diameters from 8 to 12 mm, screw lengths up to 3,000 mm.
  • Ball nuts with flanged, cylindrical or threaded mounting interface.
  • Unique ball nut multi-liner return system provides smoother operation and more load capacity.
  • Available with different coatings, lead accuracies, and preloading options.
