About Our Ball Screw Repair Services

At Screw And Barrel Repair, our Ball Screw Repair service is meticulously designed to ensure your precision machinery operates at its optimal level. The repair process begins with a comprehensive evaluation of the ball screw assembly, where we analyze the helical raceway, nut, and ball bearings for signs of wear and tear. This initial inspection is critical as it determines the extent of damage and the specific restoration actions required.

Utilizing advanced metrology tools, we measure the lead accuracy and axial play to pinpoint deviations from OEM specifications. Should we find inconsistencies, our skilled technicians employ precision thread grinding to restore the threads to their precise geometric tolerances. This step is crucial for eliminating backlash and improving the smoothness of the linear motion, thereby enhancing overall machine accuracy.

Once the thread grinding is complete, we proceed to replace worn ball bearings with high-grade, preloaded balls that match or exceed original specifications. This replacement is vital for maintaining the structural integrity of the ball screw and ensuring efficient load distribution and reduced friction. The assembly is then lubricated with industry-specific, high-performance grease, which plays a significant role in minimizing wear and extending the lifespan of the ball screw.

Finally, we conduct a rigorous testing phase that includes dynamic load testing and speed trials to ensure that the repaired ball screw meets all functional and performance criteria. Only after these tests confirm that the ball screw operates within required parameters do we consider the repair complete. Our thorough approach not only restores your ball screw to its original condition but also significantly extends its service life, ensuring your machinery continues to perform with exceptional precision and reliability.

With nearly five decades of expertise in the field, we stand as pioneers in developing the industry's standard processes for screw rebuilding. When you choose Screw and Barrel Repair, you're not just choosing a service provider; you're partnering with a team of dedicated professionals who are passionate about delivering superior quality and unmatched reliability.
