FAQ

 

 

Q: What is the distinction between flanged and cylindrical nut ball screws?

A: Flanged nuts contain an integral mounting flange bolted directly to flat housing surfaces, eliminating the need for outer lock brackets and resisting higher axial tilting moments.

Q: Can ball screws be supplied with custom end-machining?

A: Shaft ends are turned, ground, and threaded according to customer-supplied engineering drawings to fit fixed and floating bearing support units.

Q: How is the appropriate accuracy grade selected?

A: Grade C7 (0.050 mm / 300 mm) applies to general transport automation. Grade C5 (0.018 mm / 300 mm) covers standard automated axes. Grade C3 (0.008 mm / 300 mm) serves high-precision grinding and milling axes.

Q: What lubrication is recommended for flanged ball screw nuts?

A: Lithium-soap greases with extreme-pressure additives are standard. Re-lubrication frequency depends on stroke velocity, duty cycle, and operating temperatures.

Q: What is the typical production lead time for orders?

A: Standard catalog configurations ship in 7 to 10 working days. Orders requiring custom end-machining or precision ground threads (C3/C5) deliver in 15 to 20 working days.
