The global Sub-miniature Ball Screw market size is predicted to grow from US$ 222 million in 2025 to US$ 334 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2025 to 2031.
Ultra-micro ball screws (shaft diameter less than 6mm) are precision transmission components consisting of a threaded shaft (screw), a nut and a ball. The main function of this screw is to convert rotational motion into linear motion, or to convert torque into axial repetitive force. Its working principle is to use the rolling of the ball between the screw and the nut to achieve force transmission and linear motion. Due to its ultra-small shaft diameter, ultra-micro ball screws are usually suitable for applications with extremely limited space, such as precision instruments, micro robots, precision parts in medical equipment, etc.
