Track-to-track ball returns is the original â tubelessâ ball screw from Steinmeyer and it remains the most widely used. It works well with small balls and lead/diameter ratios under 0.5.

Ball screws are commonly available in five grades that range in accuracy from 6 mm per 300 mm (0.0002 in. per ft) to 210 mm per 300 mm (0.0080 in. per ft).

The design choice between ball screws and lead screws is complex. Ball screws cost more up front, but they tend to deliver better accuracy and lower maintenance costs in the long run.

Beyond the ball screw's standard life calculation, torque requirement, and output force, many other parameters must be considered, such as noise level, smoothness, repeatability, speed and ...
