About This Item
TS ISO 3408-1 is the terminology standard for ball screws and also defines their designation system. Ball screws are precision mechanical components that reduce friction by circulating balls between a screw shaft and a nut, converting rotary motion into linear motion; this standard provides the common technical language used to describe them.
Why the vocabulary is standardised
Ball screws are widely used in machine tools, automation axes and other precision positioning systems. In these applications, inconsistent naming can create confusion in drawings, catalogues and maintenance documents. The purpose of this part is to align the main terms used for ball screws and to make the short designation readable in a consistent way across technical communication.
What this part contributes to the ISO 3408 family
Within the ISO 3408 series, this part supports the terminology and designation layer rather than performance testing. In general technical terms, ball screw systems are understood through concepts such as the screw shaft, nut, ball circulation and return mechanism. Vocabulary standards help engineers and purchasers describe these features clearly, but this document’s focus is on the language and designation structure used for the product, not on numerical limits or test procedures.
