Performance and Efficiency: Thomson BSA Ball Screw Series
Ball screw assemblies use small balls to roll between the nut and screw. This creates significantly less friction than lead screws, which increases efficiency – consistently over 90% and as high as 98%. Thomson BSA ball screw products provide unparalleled accuracy and performance for two reasons: quality engineering and quality manufacturing. Each ball screw manufactured by Thomson BSA bring you the best performance for a given application:

Rolled and ground screws. Some Thomson BSA ball screw assemblies are manufactured with a rolling process, which forms raw steel by forcing it through dies. This is a cost-effective and adaptable manufacturing process. Other Thomson ball screw assemblies are created through grinding, which creates highly accurate leads and thread profiles.
