What C7 means
C7 rolled ball screws are commonly used when cost and delivery matter more than high positioning accuracy. They fit many CNC routers, automation, packing, and repair applications.
What C5 means
C5 ground ball screws are chosen when accuracy and repeatability are more demanding. They usually cost more and need clearer drawing control.
How to choose
Choose by machine requirement, stroke, speed, load, installation, budget, and quotation target. If unsure, send the application and ask the supplier to recommend.
