Helix Linear Technologies Blog | Articles, how-tos and information on the latest linear motion topics.

As mechanical engineers, we understand the importance of precision and reliability in motion control systems. Ball screws play a crucial role in converting rotary motion into linear motion, enabling the smooth and accurate operation of various machines. In this blog post, we will dive into the JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) and DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung) standards for ball screws. By exploring their features and comparing their characteristics, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of these industry standards and their implications in the realm of ball screw technology.

Miniature ball screws are essential components in many precision mechanical systems and found in various types of industries such as aerospace, medical, and robotics. They are known for their ability to convert rotary motion into linear motion and are highly accurate, providing precise and smooth movement. These tiny devices play a crucial role in many applications and it's important to understand their key features and benefits to make the best selection for your application.

Ball screws are mechanical devices commonly used in a variety of applications where precise linear motion control is required. In missile fin actuation, ball screws are used to control the movement of the fins, which are crucial components that help steer and stabilize the missile in flight.
