In the field of precision machinery manufacturing, angular ball screws have become an indispensable key component of many high-end equipment due to their unique structural design and excellent performance. Its forming process is the core of technology and is related to product quality and production efficiency.
The forming process of angular ball screws starts with the selection of materials. High-performance stainless steel or alloy steel is the first choice. These materials not only have good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, but also maintain stable accuracy under heavy loads. After the material is selected, it enters the forging and heat treatment stage. Through precision forging, the raw materials are shaped at high temperatures, and the internal grains are refined, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the material. Subsequent heat treatment further consolidates these properties and ensures that the screw is not easily deformed in subsequent processing.
Next is turning, which is a key step in the forming process. Using a high-precision CNC lathe, the forged blank is turned into the required angular shape, and the thread profile and pitch are precisely controlled. In this process, the selection of tools and the setting of cutting parameters are particularly important, which directly affect the processing accuracy and surface quality of the screw.
Next comes the precision machining of the ball track. The ball track is the core part of the ball screw, and its accuracy directly determines the motion trajectory and friction coefficient of the ball. Through precision grinding or EDM, the size and shape accuracy of the ball track are ensured to meet the design requirements.
Finally, the screws that have passed strict inspection will be surface treated, such as coating or plating, to improve their wear resistance and corrosion resistance. At this point, a complete set of angular ball screws is born.
With the development of science and technology, the molding process of angular ball screws is constantly innovating. In the future, automation and intelligence will become the mainstream trend, further improving production efficiency and product quality, and providing customers with more excellent transmission solutions.
