Tolomatic Roller Screws
Roller screws (also called planetary roller screws) have precision-ground screw threads that match multiple precision-ground rollers in the nut. These rolling elements transmit force very efficiently. Roller screw components provide more points of contact allowing for higher force capability and longer life. Tolomatic roller screws have a very deep case (surface) hardness and high Dynamic Load Rating (DLR*).
