Hi,

I'm looking for some advice with Ball screws.
Other than the price is there really much difference between Hiwin and Zapp Automation?

Looking at Zapps website they have great reviews, I just wondered if anyone on here has used either of them or has some advice.

Cheers,

Darren.

It's for a router that I am currently designing, 4' square bed.

Zap sell Gten ballscrew. Hiwin and Gten ballscrews are about the same quality.
Ive used a few and i cant fault them.
Also much better than the Chinese ballscrews that i have also used.

BST, do you have the contact details for them please?
I'd rather use a company that come recommended. [emoji106]
