12mm Mini Linear Ball Screws for CNC

Let’s take the high-precision 12mm ball screw, model MIF1202. Inside it, there are precision-graded steel balls. When the screw is under load, these balls roll steadily in a raceway—a carefully machined channel between the screw shaft and the nut. When the shaft turns relative to the nut, the balls follow a fixed path: they go along a specially shaped groove in a deflector (a part built right into the nut), slide into the next raceway over, then loop back to the original loaded area. This ball recirculation setup keeps them rolling smoothly and non-stop, which is key for consistent performance in high-precision work.   MIF1202: A high-precision ball screw assembly with a 12mm diameter   Main advantages of miniature ball screws: 1. Low Noise: Miniature ball screws and their nuts are designed to run with very little friction. That’s mainly because the steel balls only make point contact with the raceways, not broad surface contact. Less friction doesn’t just boost efficiency—it also mean…
