source of the mechanical structure:

First, the core role of the support seat: why is it the "skeleton" of the screw?
Ball screw support seat bears the three key functions of positioning, bearing and noise reduction, and its performance directly affects the life of the screw and the precision of the equipment:

Guarantee of positioning accuracy: High-precision support base can ensure strict centering of the screw and the motor shaft, avoiding unilateral wear caused by skewing. For example, when a machine tool uses ordinary support seat, the life of the screw is only 2 years, but after replacing the precision support seat, the life of the screw is extended to 6 years.


Heavy load bearing capacity: high quality support seat (such as tapered roller bearings) can withstand high axial and radial loads, suitable for heavy-duty machining equipment (such as gantry milling machines).


Vibration suppression effect: support seat with damping structure can significantly reduce the operating noise and vibration amplitude, to meet the quiet demand of precision testing equipment.

 

Second, the applicable scene: which equipment needs professional support seat upgrade?
1. Precision processing field
CNC lathe: high-speed rotary screw with double support seat and pre-tensioned structure can eliminate axial fluctuation caused by thermal expansion and improve the accuracy of processing threads.


Engraving and milling machine: lightweight aluminum alloy support base is suitable for high-speed movement needs, with small positioning error, suitable for fast feeding scenarios.


2. Automated production line
Palletizing robot:
Heavy-duty support base with screw can stably handle large loads and ensure repetitive positioning accuracy.


Semiconductor encapsulation equipment: cleanroom-specific support base to meet the requirements of a clean environment, to avoid metal particle contamination.


3. Extreme environment equipment
High-temperature oven equipment:
Stainless steel + ceramic bearing support seat, temperature resistance up to 250 ℃, to solve the problem of expansion and seizure at high temperatures.


Deep-sea exploration robotic arm: fully sealed waterproof support base can withstand high-pressure environment, suitable for underwater depth operation.


4. Medical and Specialty Machinery
Surgical navigation equipment:
miniature support base fits in compact space, with precision screws to realize sub-millimeter positioning.
Aerospace test rigs: lightweight titanium alloy mounts pass rigorous vibration tests and are suitable for high-precision drive systems.

 

Advantages of Jensen Drive mounting solutions
1. Full range of product matrix

We provide a wide range of economic, precision, heavy-duty and customized products to meet different load, precision and environmental requirements, covering a wide range of scenarios from small automated production lines to extreme environmental equipment.


2. Technical innovation highlights
Self-aligning structure:
Built-in elastic compensation element allows a certain installation error, reduces the precision requirements for the installation surface, and facilitates the assembly in small factories.


Maintenance-free design: long-lasting grease and labyrinth seals are used, eliminating the need for regular oil replenishment and significantly reducing maintenance costs.


Thermal deformation compensation: the support base and the screw adopt the same thermal expansion coefficient material, the axial displacement is controlled in a very small range when the temperature difference changes.

 

How to choose the right support seat? 3 steps to get it done
Define the type of load:
select angular contact ball bearing support seat for pure axial load, and select tapered roller bearing support seat for compound load.


Calculate the precision requirements: choose the lower precision level for ordinary transmission, and choose the high precision level for precision positioning.


Adaptation to environmental conditions: select stainless steel / ceramic material for high-temperature scenarios, and select fully sealed structure for dusty environments.
