Leadscrew Market: Global Industry Trend Analysis 2012 to 2017 and Forecast 2017 - 2025
Market Overview
Leadscrew is also known as power screw which used as a linkage in a machine to convert turning motion into linear motion. Leadscrew is mainly used to carry high power, and sometimes with a split nut which enables nut to disengage from the threads and move axially. Additionally, leadscrew is also utilized in a data storage systems that help in reducing tolerance stack up, part count and minimize overall product cost.
To reduce friction between the nut and screw it is used as sliding instead of rolling, and have a large load carrying capabilities. Leadscrew is compact, simple to design, smooth, easy to maintain, easily modified nut designs, minimal parts, and have self-locking features. The growing popularity of smaller packaged applications mainly involves lower load capacity coupled with high precisions. Moreover, miniaturization of technology in various markets has created a diverse opportunity for leadscrew to power applications namely photonics, insulin pumps, auto-focusing optics, automotive equipment, and more.
Leadscrew Market: Drivers and Restraints
Expanding trend of miniaturization, innovative product development with nanotechnology, developing the need for automated systems, rising demand for customized design, advanced taper-lock technology, product precision, and an alternative to driving belts owing to its low production cost are the primary factor driving the growth of global leadscrew market.
Moreover, Advanced features such as high efficiency, adaptability, precision, increase torque density, reduce power consumption, and enhance functioning battery life are some of the prominent factors fueling the growth of leadscrew market over the forecast period. However, leadscrew has a high friction on the threads, and cannot be used in continuous electricity transmission applications coupled with substitute products such as ball screws, fluid power, and piezoelectric actuation, and growing higher standards for medical device reliability may limiting the growth of the leadscrew market during the forecast period.
