Corrosion-resistant ball screw drives from Kammerer for precise linear movements in cleanroom applications

Niro ball screw drives from Kammerer are manufactured in Hornberg in the Black Forest.

Niro ball screw drive from Kammerer with ceramic balls, a plastic wiper system, and an additional sealing plate for optimal sealing of the system.

Kammerer Gewindetechnik GmbH presents ball screw drives made of stainless steel, specifically designed for the requirements of cleanroom applications as well as for food, pharmaceutical, and packaging applications. The corrosion-resistant screw drives are characterized by high efficiency, precision, robustness, and durability. The materials used enable certification of the machines according to FDA standards.

In cleanrooms and pharmaceutical applications, the ball screw drives are used, for example, for highly precise positioning tasks and lifting movements. They ensure accurate linear movements even under demanding environmental conditions. With an efficiency of up to 98 percent, the ball screw drives require less drive power for precise positioning and higher travel speeds with minimal temperature increase. Due to the low friction between the nut and the spindle, the screw drives are not self-locking.

For applications in the pharmaceutical and food industries, Kammerer relies on ceramic bodies and corrosion-resistant materials for the spindle and nut, which meet the highest quality standards. The robust Niro ball screw drives with ceramic balls are distinguished by their longevity and high resistance to aggressive cleaning agents. Special lubrications guarantee an optimal lubricating film and a long service life. Application-specific scrapers in simple or double design ensure the necessary sealing of the spindle nut and prevent the ingress of dirt or debris.

In addition to numerous standard designs, the ball screw drives are manufactured customer-specific. They feature innovative deflection systems and are available with single or double nuts, as well as cooled and driven nuts. Kammerer offers ball screw drives, trapezoidal, and special screw drives in diameters from 4 mm to 160 mm and lengths up to 15 m. From individual customizations to large series, all quantities and manufacturing technologies – whether rolled, ground, or rolled – can be realized according to DIN or specific requirements.

Kammerer manufactures the screw drives in Hornberg in the Black Forest. The comprehensive product range includes ball screw drives, ball circulation spindles, trapezoidal screw drives, sliding screw drives, as well as customer-specific assemblies and complete systems. Kammerer’s screw technology is used worldwide in machine tool construction and general machinery, in medical technology, fine mechanics, handling automation, robotics, as well as in aircraft and automotive manufacturing.
