Precision Ball Screws: Competitive Pricing, Short Lead Times & In-House Manufacturing
For OEMs developing precision equipment, selecting the right motion components involves more than performance specifications. Cost, availability, manufacturing consistency, and the ability to respond quickly to changing production requirements can have a direct impact on development timelines.
DINGS’ Motion USA offers a comprehensive range of precision ball screw solutions designed to combine accuracy, competitive pricing, and short lead times for applications including semiconductor equipment, medical devices, robotics, laboratory automation, and other precision automation systems.
In-House Manufacturing from Machining Through Testing
A key advantage of DINGS’ ball screw manufacturing is control over critical production processes. DINGS’ has established in-house capabilities covering precision machining, heat treatment, grinding, inspection, assembly, and testing.
Thread rolling, high-frequency heat treatment, and precision grinding are performed in temperature- and humidity-controlled manufacturing environments. Critical characteristics are inspected throughout production to help maintain consistent performance.
- Lead accuracy
- Surface roughness
- Screw straightness
- Thread profile
- Precision assembly
- Final inspection and life testing
Ball nut machining, precision assembly, final inspection, and life testing are also systematically managed as part of the manufacturing process.
By maintaining control over these key processes, DINGS’ can improve production efficiency and cost competitiveness while responding more quickly and flexibly to customer development schedules and production requirements.
Built for Faster, More Flexible Sourcing
Long component lead times can quickly become a bottleneck for prototype builds, machine development, and production schedules. DINGS’ integrated manufacturing capabilities provide the flexibility to support customers from development samples and prototypes through volume production.
This approach helps OEMs reduce procurement lead times while maintaining the precision and quality required for demanding motion applications.
For manufacturers evaluating a new design—or looking for an alternative to an existing component—DINGS’ Motion USA can review application requirements, drawings, and specifications to help identify an appropriate ball screw solution.
This provides another sourcing option when availability, cost, or changing specifications create challenges with an existing supplier.
Precision Ball Screw Configurations
The DINGS’ precision ball screw portfolio supports screw diameters from 3 to 12 mm, leads from 1 to 20 mm, and accuracy grades from C3 to C10.
Three ball recirculation systems—End Cap, Deflector, and Return Tube—are available to address a wide range of application requirements, including high-speed operation, high-load capacity, low noise, and compact machine designs.
Ground C3 and C5 ball screws and rolled C7 and C10 configurations provide options for different accuracy, performance, and application requirements.
DINGS’ also supports multiple nut styles, custom screw lengths, end machining, preload and backlash control options, and integrated assemblies designed around the requirements of the customer's motion system.
From Existing Specification to DINGS’ Solution
Already have a ball screw specification, drawing, or existing part number? You don't necessarily need to start the selection process from scratch.
Send your requirements to the DINGS’ Motion USA team. We can review screw diameter, lead, accuracy, nut configuration, machining, dimensional requirements, and other application considerations to determine an appropriate solution for your system.
Engineers beginning a new design can also use the DINGS’ Ball Screw Nut Part Number Configurator to explore available screw diameters, compatible leads, nut styles, return types, accuracy grades, axial clearance, screw lengths, and other configuration options.
Need an Alternative Ball Screw Solution?
If ball screw availability, pricing, or lead times are affecting your development or production schedule, send us your existing drawing, specifications, or part number. Our engineering team can review your requirements and help determine the right DINGS’ solution for your application.
