• Basic Screw Transport ball screw for applications where high positioning accuracy is not critical, such as transport, lifting equipment, and woodworking machines. Diameters up to 63mm, lengths to 5.6m, precision classes T5/T7. Thread is manufactured by rolling process.
• Special Screw Special ball screw configurations including telescopic ball screws for applications requiring small installation dimensions and large strokes (handling platforms, hexapods), profile-free ball screws for manipulator and transport mechanisms, and linear actuators replacing hydraulic cylinders with minimum 95% efficiency conversion.
• Trapezoidal Screws (Trapézové šrouby) Trapezoidal screws with trapezoidal thread (per ČSN 014050), standard self-locking elements converting rotational to linear motion. Diameters 16-120mm, thread pitches 4-14mm, leads 3-50mm, standard lengths up to 6.2m, maximum thread length 12m. Available in fine, medium, and coarse precision classes.
• Guide Rods (Vodící tyče) Hardened and ground single-piece round cross-section guide rods for precise and highly efficient linear rolling guidance of moving parts. Options for attachment to clamping bars, sleeves, and other clamping elements. Made from steel CF53 and 42CrMo4, induction hardened to 58-60 HRC.
• Repairs of Ball and Trapezoidal Screws (Opravy kuličkových a trapézových šroubů) Repair services for ball screws and trapezoidal screws including own-brand and other world manufacturers' products. Includes proper function restoration, new preload setting, backlash elimination, emergency repairs in shortened timeframes, and new product manufacturing from supplied samples.
• Laser Robotic Workstation (Laserové robotizované pracoviště) Laser processing services using a 6-axis Motoman robot (2000x7000mm range), single-axis positioner (1000kg), dual-axis positioner (250kg), and fixed preparation table.
