Ball screws are used in a wide array of linear motion applications across multiple industries. They are one of the most economical ways of converting rotary motion into precision linear motion and can move heavy loads at fast speeds with outstanding accuracy. While these devices provide numerous hours of smooth, trouble-free operation, they must be properly specified, installed and regularly maintained to avoid system downtime and premature failure.

In automation cells, precise, repeatable and long-lasting linear motion is critical. The Rockford Linear Motion (RLM) product line from Rockford Ball Screw (RBS) offers linear guide rail systems that are manufactured to extremely tight tolerances.
