About Power Feeds
Power feeds attach to the ballscrews of milling machines, drilling machines, and other machine tools to provide an accurate, repeatable feed rate. They are designed to provide automated feed replacement for handwheels on manually-controlled machine tools. By definition, handwheels are manually-operated devices that revolve around an axis and are used to adjust machinery. The ballscrews to which power feeds attach are used to convert rotary motion or torque into thrust or linear motion. The ends of the ballscrews provide the points for attachment for these electrically-controlled devices. In turn, the power feeds provide a smooth, repeatable, automated motion. Some power feeds are designed for specific makes and models of equipment, while others are designed for use with milling machines and drilling machines from multiple manufacturers.
