    The low friction torque of Steinmeyer optiSLITE Miniature Ball Screws delivers exceptional servo performance and smoother running. The result is superior positioning in semiconductor, optical, medical device, and metrology applications. These specialized ball screws undergo a proprietary finishing process at our German factory that removes micron-sized irregularities on the shaft raceway. This enables optiSLITE Miniature Ball Screws to provide the highest levels of performance required in most applications. 

    optiSLITE Miniature Ball Screws can achieve 30% noise reduction, up to 40% reduced friction torque, extended service life and greater efficiency. Download this Case Study for detailed information
