Ball Screws and Ball Screw Nuts
Properties
• Standard products are Ø 12 to Ø 40 mm, right-hand thread, nuts with double-sided flange cut and preload of P0
• Material: steel 50CrMo5QT, surface hardened 58-62HRC, hardening depth 2 mm from thread root
• In the following overview, the preferred types which are mostly available from stock are marked in red
• Higher preloads, ground screws, round nut flanges, etc. are available on request
• A higher preload of the nut enables a more precise positioning but leads to less efficiency
• Ball screw sets with preload P1 to P4 are delivered only in their assembled state. For preload P0, we deliver the screw and nut separately.
• End machining for fixed and floating bearings made according to your drawings are available on request. For examples, refer to pages V 061 and V 062
• Note that screws can buckle when installed vertically and placed under pressure or lifting loads
• Take the screw torsion into account when operating at high turning speeds
Advantages
• Rolling friction in the thread – thus very high efficiency
• Suitable for high speeds
• High positioning accuracy
• Lubrication required – usually nuts with lubrication hole
• No self-locking! Vertical ball screw sets must be mounted with brake motors
