0334332009 - ESAB 0334332009 Linear Motion Ball Screw Assembly 1366mm

Precision Linear Motion for Automated Systems

The ESAB 0334332009 Ball Screw with Nut (L=1366mm) is a critical mechanical component designed for the precise linear actuation of automated welding and cutting machinery. In the realm of industrial automation, the accuracy of the torch or tool head is directly dependent on the quality of the drive system. This ball screw assembly utilizes a recirculating ball mechanism to convert rotational motion from the servo or stepper motor into precise linear translation, offering significantly higher efficiency and lower friction compared to traditional lead screws.

Manufactured to tight tolerances, this OEM part ensures that the specific axis it controls maintains repeatability and positional accuracy, which are paramount for achieving high-quality cuts and consistent weld seams. The assembly includes both the threaded shaft, measuring 1366mm in length, and the matching ball nut. The integration of the nut is crucial, as it is pre-loaded or matched to the screw to minimize backlash—the lost motion that can occur when reversing direction. Excessive backlash in a cutting table or welding gantry can lead to out-of-tolerance parts, jagged cut edges, or wandering weld paths.

Constructed from high-grade, hardened steel, the shaft is designed to withstand the rigorous duty cycles of industrial environments, resisting wear from constant motion and potential contamination. When replacing a worn ball screw, using the genuine ESAB 0334332009 ensures that the pitch, diameter, and mounting interfaces align perfectly with the existing machine architecture, eliminating the need for modifications and ensuring the control system's calibration remains valid. This component is an essential spare for maintenance departments overseeing ESAB automated equipment.
