The ball-screw assemblies enable precise positioning of moving parts in a range of applications for the automotive, aerospace, injection molding, instrumentation, medical and machine tool industries. Their internal return design circulates the ball bearings to the opposite end of the nut through a hole drilled in the wall of the nut body. The nut is fitted with solid pickup pins and deflectors, which guide the balls through the return system. The design eliminates external parts and delivers high-speed operation enhanced without the presence of conventional return tubes. Standard, precision-ground ball screws are available in screw diameter sizes from 3/8 to 6 inches, leads from 0.100 to 1.000 inch and lengths up to 60 feet. Preloaded and nonstandard sizes, configurations and special materials can be accommodated.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.
