Compact RVi Integration
Custom inverted nut designs for frameless motor integration, short actuator stacks, and smooth output-shaft packaging.
Traceable Material Routes
100Cr6, GCr15, 440C, stainless, heat-treatment, hardness, and surface-finish routes aligned to buyer specifications.
Auditable QA Records
Material traceability, EN 10204 3.1 MTC options, CMM reports, first-article records, and ISO 2859-1 AQL sampling by scope.
Product Capability
Start with the motion problem, not a catalog part number
Buyers usually need to know whether a supplier can hold the envelope, load, backlash, life, material, and inspection path before they send drawings. These are the first feasibility questions we expect to resolve during RFQ review.

Why Roller Screw
Roller Screw vs Ball Screw vs Lead Screw
Roller screws win when you need higher load capacity in a smaller envelope, longer service life under the same duty cycle, or better shock resistance. Here is how they compare on the metrics that drive actuator selection decisions.
| Performance Dimension | Planetary Roller Screw | Ball Screw | Lead Screw |
|---|---|---|---|
| Load density (same OD) | 3 – 15× higher | Baseline | 0.3 – 0.5× |
| Service life (same load) | 10 – 15× longer | Baseline | 0.1 – 0.3× |
| Stiffness | ★★★★★ | ★★★ | ★★ |
| Compactness | ★★★★★ | ★★★ | ★★★★ |
| Efficiency | 80 – 90% | 85 – 95% | 25 – 50% |
| Shock resistance | ★★★★★ | ★★ | ★★★ |
| Unit cost (same load class) | 1.5 – 3× | Baseline | 0.2 – 0.5× |
When to choose roller screws: Your actuator envelope is too tight for a ball screw of the same load class, your duty cycle demands 10× longer fatigue life, or your application involves shock loads that would damage ball recirculation paths.
Quality Control
Inspection evidence that reduces sourcing risk
For micro roller screws, the hidden risk is not only price. It is material substitution, unstable preload, uncontrolled lead error, and weak documentation. The quality path is visible from RFQ through shipment.
CNC machining cell for precision miniature screw components
Quality inspection setup for roller screw geometry and documentation
Drawing and DFM review
Tolerance stack, load case, buckling, critical speed, shaft-end risk, and manufacturability review before quoting.
Material and heat-treatment control
Material certificate review, hardness checks, surface finish control, and process route definition for fatigue-critical parts.
Thread and geometry inspection
Lead accuracy, axial clearance, friction torque, runout, CMM dimensions, and visual inspection recorded for release.
Export-ready packing and traceability
Part marking, batch records, protective packaging, documentation pack, and shipment coordination for global programs.
Lead Time Path
A practical route from sample request to repeat orders
Engineering buyers care less about a vague fast-delivery claim and more about what happens after a drawing is shared. Each stage below has a practical output that can be reviewed by engineering and procurement.
1. RFQ triage
Usually within one business day
We check the drawing, duty cycle, load target, backlash target, quantity, and risk items before confirming next actions.
2. Engineering alignment
DFM and spec lock
Diameter, lead, nut geometry, material, heat treatment, inspection plan, and sample acceptance criteria are agreed.
3. Sample build
Prototype path
Pilot components are manufactured with inspection records so the actuator team can validate force, torque, life, and fit.
4. Pilot to batch
Controlled release
After sample approval, the process route, QC checkpoints, packaging, and delivery cadence are stabilized for repeat orders.
