Why are ball screws so expensive?

The main reasons why the price of ball screws is high are the following aspects:

1. High precision requirements: Ball screws are usually used in mechanical devices that require high precision, such as machine tools, robots, etc. In order to meet the requirements of these applications, ball screws need to have high positioning accuracy and repeatable positioning accuracy, which require higher process requirements and stricter quantity control during the manufacturing process, thus increasing costs.

2. High-quality materials: Ball screws are generally made of high-strength and high-hardness alloys and other materials to ensure their strength and rigidity and can withstand high loads and high-speed movements. These materials are generally more expensive and increase the manufacturing cost of the ball screw.

3. Precision processing technology: Ball screws need to be manufactured through precise processing technology, including turning, grinding, rolling and other process steps. These processes require high-precision machine tool equipment and skilled operators to complete, and these processing costs are also reflected in the price of the final product.

4. Special design and customization requirements: Some application scenarios may require specially designed and customized ball screws to meet specific working environments and requirements. This need for customization often increases production costs and engineering design costs, resulting in an increase in the price of the ball screw.

To sum up, the high price of ball screws is mainly caused by factors such as their high precision requirements, high-quality materials, precision processing technology, and special design and customization requirements.
