In particular for electric fly by wire, THK Rolled Ball Screw is used in aircraft and missiles to move control surfaces, and in automotive power steering to convert rotational motion from an electric motor to axial motion of the steering rack. This is also utilised in robotics, machine tools, and high-precision assembly tools. THK Rolled Ball Screw is used to make rolled ball screws, not ground ball screws. This is employed because their usage of ball bearings results in decreased friction and allows for tighter tolerances than ordinary forms of screw assemblies.
