Why use a machine screw vs. a ball screw actuator?
One type of actuator is usually better suited to the operating conditions. Typically, fast operating speeds and frequent cycle times may be more suited to a ball screw actuator, particularly at the load approaches the rated capacity of the actuator. High load at slower speeds, less frequent cycles and the ability to hold the load in position when the system is at rest may be better suited for a machine screw actuator.
