Category Overview

 

SFU Ball Screws feature a DIN 69051 Form B flanged single nut with external tube circulation, designed to convert rotary motion into linear positioning with over 90% mechanical efficiency. Manufactured from induction-hardened SCF55 / GCr15 bearing steel, these assemblies deliver axial rigidity and repeatable positioning accuracy down to ±0.018 mm/300mm. Standardized mounting interfaces allow seamless integration into automated machinery, linear actuators, and precision positioning stages.

Material Specifications: Shaft: GCr15 / SCF55 (HRC 58–62); Nut: 20CrMo (HRC 58–62); Steel Balls: GCr15 Class 10.


Axial Clearance: Standard zero-backlash configuration or pre-set axial play within 0.02 mm–0.05 mm. 

 

Key Advantages

Standardized DIN Mounting:

Drop-in compatibility with international mounting dimensions simplifies direct replacement and engineering integration.

Induction Hardened Raceways:

Deep surface hardness (HRC 58–62) prevents plastic deformation under static overload conditions.

Low Running Torque:

Precision ground raceway profiles reduce internal friction, enabling lower drive motor sizing requirements.

Contamination Protection:

Integrated dual-lip wiper seals on both nut ends exclude dust and retain lubricant film.

 

Target Applications

CNC Machine Tools:

Drives X, Y, Z linear positioning axes in milling machines, lathes, and routing platforms.

Industrial Automation:

Powers linear gantry modules, pick-and-place robots, and automated assembly lines.

Laser Cutting & Welding Equipment:

Delivers smooth movement across continuous path contouring systems.

Medical Device Drives:

Controls precision elevation, motorized tables, and diagnostic motion frames.

 

 

Selection Guide

Calculate Required Load: Determine peak dynamic operating load and static holding force requirements.


Select Diameter and Lead: Match drive speed (RPM) and motor resolution to the required linear pitch.


Determine Precision Grade: Choose C7 for standard transportation axes; select C5 for precision CNC or measurement equipment.


Define End Support Types: Match shaft ends to standard bearing housing series (BK/BF, FK/FF, EK/EF).


Verify Critical Speed: Check maximum operational RPM against the screw shaft length to prevent resonant vibration.

FAQ

 

 

Q: What is the main difference between SFU and SFE ball screws?

A: SFU features a single-start thread with a standard lead-to-diameter ratio based on DIN 69051 specifications. SFE features high-lead configurations designed for high-speed linear traverse applications.

Q: What precision grades are available for SFU series ball screws?

A: Standard production covers C7 rolled grade (±0.050 mm/300 mm error limit) and C5 precision rolled or ground grade (±0.018 mm/300 mm error limit).

Q: Can SFU ball screw nuts be supplied with custom preloads?

A: Yes, nuts can be configured with standard axial clearance, zero backlash, or light preload (P1) achieved via ball size selectivity.

Q: What is the maximum shaft length available for SFU ball screws?

A: Raw screw shafts are available in standard lengths up to 6,000 mm, cut and end-machined to your required mounting dimensions.

Q: Do you supply matching end support units for SFU ball screws?

A: Complete assemblies are available including BK/BF, FK/FF, or EK/EF bearing blocks, locknuts, and snap rings ready for immediate mounting.
