When heavy loads need to be moved with precision, heavy-duty ballscrews are the ideal solution. HIWIN ballscrews for heavy-duty applications have been specially developed for applications involving high axial forces, large moving masses and demanding operating conditions. Thanks to their special design, they achieve a load capacity that is two to three times higher than that of conventional ballscrews. High load ratings for axial loads, high accelerations and reinforced ball recirculation systems enable reliable operation even at high speeds and ensure a long service life.
Thanks to specialised lubrication concepts and optimised ball recirculation systems, HIWIN heavy-duty spindles are suitable for applications involving short travel distances combined with high loads. Depending on the type, shaft lengths of up to 2 metres can be achieved. Heavy load ball screws are used, amongst other things, in injection moulding machines, die-casting machines, pressing systems, engine test benches, robots and other heavy machinery and plant. Users benefit from the proven advantages of HIWIN ballscrew technology: high efficiency, high precision and maximum reliability.
Our experienced engineers will support you from sizing through to implementation and help you find the optimal solution for your application.
