What is a "Ball-screw"?

Ball-screw is a very precise screw where the profile of the helix is a bearing race. The nut which runs on the screw has highly loaded ball bearings between the nut body and the race. Such a device is used for the precise, low drag transmission of motion of machine slideways.
