About This Item
TS ISO 3408-1 is the standard for the vocabulary and designation used for ball screws. It establishes a common technical language for ball screw systems so that the screw shaft, nut, balls, load direction and related fundamental elements are understood consistently. The stated scope applies to the terminology of ball screws shown in Figure 1.
Why ball screw terminology matters
Ball screws are precision mechanical elements that convert rotary motion into linear motion. Compared with conventional sliding screws, they are designed to offer lower friction, higher efficiency and improved positioning accuracy. For that reason, clear naming and designation rules reduce ambiguity in catalogues, technical drawings, part selection and machine design. This standard is primarily about shared technical language rather than geometric limits, load ratings or performance requirements.
Designation in practical engineering use
In general engineering practice, ball screw systems are described through concepts such as the screw shaft, ball-recirculating nut, pitch, lead and load direction. Vocabulary standards help ensure these terms are written and abbreviated consistently across documentation and drawings. Although this edition of TS ISO 3408-1 has been withdrawn, it remains a useful reference for the core terminology of ball screw technology.
