In addition to trapezoidal screw jacks, Unimec also offers ball screw jacks. These jacks provide higher accuracy and efficiency than trapezoidal screw jacks and are ideal for applications that require precise positioning and control. They are also suitable for high-speed applications and can operate at higher speeds than trapezoidal screw jacks.
