The development of ball screws is facing great challenges due to ever increasing requirements and more complex loads. The classical design methods such as the DIN standard are no longer sufficient, because these assume an even distribution of forces on the individual balls and require generous safety factors. This is where the simulation helps. Steinmeyer, as a Meshparts user from the very beginning, demonstrates the advantages of simulation in these practical application areas:

• Optimization of a heavy duty ball screw
• Single nut examination: double vs. single thread
