Ball Screw Repair: Revitalize Your Old Parts for Industrial Machinery Use

In precision-driven industrial environments, the performance of your equipment depends on the reliability of its core components. Among the most critical of these are ball screws: precision-engineered elements responsible for converting rotational motion into linear movement. They are essential to the performance of CNC machines, lathes, mills, and other high-performance machinery.

Over time, even the most well-maintained ball screws experience wear, leading to reduced accuracy, machine inefficiencies, and – eventually – operational downtime. Full replacement can be costly and lead to extended delays due to supply chain constraints.

At AH Group, we offer a smarter, faster solution: professional ball screw repair from our wide group of supply partners. Our services restore industrial components to like-new condition, helping customers minimize downtime, extend the life of their equipment, and reduce total cost of ownership – without compromising on performance.

Why Repair Makes Strategic Sense

Substantial Cost Savings

Repairing a ball screw is often 50–60% more cost-effective than replacing it. For industrial operations managing multiple machines, the cost savings can scale significantly. This isn’t just about repairing a part – it’s about protecting your bottom line and optimizing capital expenditure.

AH Group offers clear, data-backed evaluations so decision-makers can assess potential savings. With repair, you regain full function without the financial burden of sourcing a new unit.

Rapid Turnaround to Reduce Downtime

We understand that downtime is not just inconvenient – it’s costly. That’s why we prioritize speed and reliability in our repair workflows. With standard repair turnarounds as fast as five business days, and 24-hour emergency repair options, AH Group ensures that your operations are back online with minimal disruption.

In fast-paced industrial settings, time is critical. Our expedited services are engineered to meet that urgency without sacrificing quality.

The AH Group Ball Screw Repair Process

Getting Started

When a part fails, it’s sent to one of our repair sorting centers – or picked up by an AH driver depending on your proximity. Our sourcing team then evaluates a network of trusted suppliers, leveraging our high-volume spend to secure the best value and turnaround available. Within a day, we deliver a quote back to the plant, empowering teams to make a fast, informed decision.

Once approved, we manage the entire repair process, offering full timeline transparency, real-time data, and cost comparison insights between repair and replacement. If the part is under warranty, you’ll pay nothing. It’s repair management made simple, sustainable, and smart.

Our streamlined intake process is designed to minimize friction, allowing our technicians to begin evaluation without delay.

Comprehensive Evaluation and Diagnosis

Each unit undergoes a multi-step evaluation process:

• Initial operation check
• Disassembly of the screw and ball nut
• Inspection for signs of pitting, wear, misalignment, or contamination
• Straightness testing and form analysis
• Failure analysis with photographic documentation

Following evaluation, we deliver a detailed condition report and repair quote, empowering customers to make informed, timely decisions.

Final Quality Checks and Return

Once repair is complete, the assembly undergoes final testing, including:

• Torque uniformity
• Lead accuracy
• Preload confirmation
• Inspection for proper lubrication and wiper installation

Our repair process is results-driven, ensuring the equipment is ready to meet production demands immediately upon reinstallation.
