- Rod Actuator CRES is a compact, streamlined design with all components concealed in a rigid, splash-proof, IP55 rated construction.
THK BALL SCREW
The THK Ball Screw is a high-efficiency feed screw with the ball making a rolling motion between the screw axis and the nut.
Features include:
- driving torque is one-third that of a sliding screw
- precision maching to ensure high accuracy
- accurate inching (no stick slip)
- high rigidity without backlash
- fast feed due to high efficiency and low heat
THK CROSS-ROLLER RING
The THK Cross-Roller Ring is a roller bearing designed to bear loads in all directions, including radial, axial and moment loads.
