Miniature ball screws are mainly composed of threaded shafts (or screws), threaded sleeves (or nuts), balls and cages. The threaded shaft and threaded sleeve are the active and passive components of the screw respectively. The balls roll between the threaded shaft and the threaded sleeve as transmission components to achieve force transmission and relative motion. The cage plays the role of keeping the balls moving normally on the track.
A ball screw is a roller screw transmission device with balls as rolling elements. It is used to achieve rotational motion in longitudinal motion and vice versa. Here, a miniature ball screw is defined as a ball screw with a diameter of less than 16 mm.
The main manufacturers of miniature ball screws include NSK, THK, Ewellix, Hiwin Corporation and TBI Motion, among which the top five manufacturers have a market share of more than 36%. The global production areas are mainly distributed in North America, Europe, China and Japan, among which Japan is the largest production area, accounting for about 30% of the market share. In terms of product type, internal circulation ball screws are its largest segment, accounting for about 73% of the share; at the same time, in terms of downstream, CNC machine tools are the largest downstream field, accounting for about 33%.
The driving factors of the micro ball screw market mainly include the following aspects:
Technological progress and growing demand for automation
Technological progress: With the continuous advancement of manufacturing technology, the manufacturing accuracy and performance of micro ball screws have been significantly improved, enabling them to meet the needs of more high-precision and high-stability application scenarios.
Growing demand for automation: Under the background of automation and intelligent manufacturing, more and more industries have begun to adopt micro ball screws to achieve precise linear motion control. Especially in the fields of precision instruments, medical equipment, aerospace, etc., the application of micro ball screws is becoming more and more extensive.
Rapid development of downstream industries
Machine tool industry: Machine tools are one of the main application areas of micro ball screws. With the rapid development of the machine tool industry, the demand for high-precision and high-performance micro ball screws is also increasing.
Industrial robots: The widespread application of industrial robots has driven the growth of the micro ball screw market. Industrial robots need to achieve precise linear motion control, and micro ball screws are the key components to achieve this function.
Other industries: In addition to machine tools and industrial robots, micro ball screws are also widely used in 3C, automobiles, lithium batteries, photovoltaics, metal processing, food and beverage, heavy industry and other fields. The rapid development of these industries provides a broad space for growth in the micro ball screw market.
Policy support and domestic substitution
Policy support: In recent years, the state has introduced a series of policies to support the development of high-end equipment manufacturing, which has provided a good policy environment for the micro ball screw industry. The policy encourages enterprises to increase R&D investment, improve product quality and technical level, and promote the process of domestic substitution.
Domestic substitution: At present, the localization rate of the domestic micro ball screw market is not high, which means huge market potential and growth space. With the continuous improvement of the technical level of domestic enterprises and the acceleration of the process of domestic substitution, the micro ball screw market is expected to usher in rapid growth.
Supply chain stability and cost advantage
Supply chain stability: The manufacturing of micro ball screws involves multiple links, including raw material supply, parts processing, assembly, etc. A stable supply chain is essential to ensure product quality and delivery time. With the continuous optimization and stabilization of the global supply chain, the manufacturing cost of micro ball screws is expected to be further reduced, thereby enhancing market competitiveness.
Cost advantage: Compared with imported products, domestic micro ball screws have certain price advantages. With the improvement of the technical level of domestic enterprises and the emergence of economies of scale, this cost advantage will become more obvious. This will help domestic enterprises gain more share in the international market and promote the further growth of the micro ball screw market.
In summary, the driving factors of the micro ball screw market mainly include technological progress and growth in automation demand, rapid development of downstream industries, policy support and domestic substitution, and supply chain stability and cost advantages. These factors have jointly promoted the rapid development of the micro ball screw market.
