About

Kugel Motion was founded in 2009 to offer a higher quality, more affordable solution for precision ball screw repairs and replacements than was available in the market.  Since then we have steadily and sustainabily grown through our network of loyal customers offering recommendations to like minded machine tool engineers and maintenance engineers in larger manufacturing companies wanting to have more confidence in the quality coupled with that little bit extra in terms of service.

As a result of this sustained growth we have moved into a new facility which has enabled us to continue to provide the high quality, affordable ballscrew solutions that we are known for. 

In 2012 we invested in machinery which enabled Kugel Motion to be the only UK company able to re-grind ball nuts and manufacture high quality ground ball nuts in-house - enabling us to provide an extra layer to our services in terms of ball screw repair, as a ball nut re-grind to the original ball form profile will perform almost as well as a new ball nut.  On larger assemblies ø40 - ø100 this becomes a more economically viable option than an entirely new assembly (which we can also provide).

In 2014, investment in external thread grinding machinery used in the production of custom miniature ballscrew assemblies at Meggitt Aerospace & Defence, formerly Thomson Aerospace & Defence, increased our in-house capabilities significantly.  We can proudly state that as of May 2014 Kugel Motion is the only company in the UK able to manufacture metric and imperial precision ground miniature ball screws completely in-house. 

Later in 2014 our management team formed our Kugel Aerospace & Defence division, dedicated to the manufacture of custom miniature ballscrew assemblies for the Aerospace, Defence and Automotive industries.  The remit of this department was to enable UK and international customers to have a continuation of quality, AS9100 assured, ball screw products manufactured in the UK.

As a small, growing company we are able to provide each and every customer with a high level of personal service, something we pride ourselves on.

Our unique plant list includes 4&5-axis CNC milling machines, CNC turning, cylindrical grinding machines up to 1600mm, surface grinding, Matrix 69 precision internal thread grinding and two precision Reishauer external thread grinders.  This in-house machining capability together with a combination of over 65 years of design, application and manufacturing experience provides a perfect environment for responsive design and manufacturing of custom miniature ball screws, with well planned and executed batch work for OEM customers.

We look forward to working with you.
