Introducing Nook's 8 x 6 Small Diameter Metric Ball Screws

We recently introduced our miniature metric 8x6 Ball Screw (BS) designed for light load applications that deliver fast speed and close tolerance positioning.

The rare size (8mm diameter x 6mm lead) is the only precision rolled 8x6 on the market and is designed for compact applications that require the dual ability to be fast and precise-ideal for accurate positioning requiring a rapid approach and retraction.

Our Precision Screw Group originally developed the 8x6 BS as part of our Miniature Metric Ball Screw Development Project primarily for medical applications. The combination of small screw and high-precision, however, is also well suited for a myriad of broad-based light load applications requiring close positioning and fast speed including; military, optics, instrumentation, sensors, etc.

Nook’s 8x6 BS is manufactured using precision rolled technology instead of grinding, which significantly lowers cost without compromising precision.

Custom ball screw end machining options are also available to accommodate custom motor/bearing combinations.
