Ball screws

Product catalog summary
Overview: This technical catalogue from SNR, in collaboration with the Japanese Group NTN, details their range of ball screws used in industries such as machine tools, aeronautics, and automated assembly lines. It covers specifications, product range, technical information, customization options, and disclaimers.
Specifications: The catalogue introduces rolled and ground ball screws, focusing on standard rolled models in tolerance class 7. Materials include Ck55 for spindles, 15CrMo5 for nuts, and 100Cr6 for balls. Special models offer different tolerance classes and materials, including rust-proof options for medical technology.
Product Range: Various types of ball nuts are detailed, including SK, CI, SC, DC, SU, DU, SE, and SH, each designed for specific applications. Information on bearing units and standard spindle ends, with dimensions and load ratings, is provided.
Technical Information: Extensive technical data includes travel variation, travel deviation, running and bearing tests according to ISO 3408-3, axial clearance, preloading, critical speed, and permissible axial load calculations. Guidelines for mounting the nut on the screw and maintenance information are also included.
Customization and Support: SNR offers custom machining options and technical support to design solutions tailored to customer needs. The technical department is available for consultation to ensure products meet specific application requirements.
Disclaimer: NTN-SNR cannot be held responsible for errors or omissions and reserves the right to modify products and data without prior notice.
Procedures: Procedures for measuring travel variation and deviation, concentricity, and axial runout variations according to ISO 3408-3 standards are outlined. The process for mounting ball nuts on screws is described, emphasizing careful alignment.
Standards and Tolerances: Tolerance classes for travel variations and deviations are defined in accordance with ISO 3408, with specific values for different screw lengths and tolerance classes. Permissible variances for intermediate travel variations and travel fluctuations are detailed.
Recommendations: Recommendations include maintaining operating speeds below 80% of the critical speed to avoid harmonic vibrations and potential damage. Preloading techniques to improve stiffness and positional accuracy are advised, along with guidelines for calculating permissible axial loads and critical speeds.
Key Data from Tables and Graphs: Tables provide specific tolerance values for various measurements, such as concentricity and axial runout, across different nominal diameters and lengths. Graphs illustrate permissible axial loads and critical speeds for different mounting configurations.
Critical Information: Critical parameters include the importance of preloading to remove axial clearance and increase stiffness, the calculation of permissible speeds and loads, and the necessity of adhering to specified tolerances to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the ball screws.
Introduction: The document provides technical information on the operation and maintenance of ball screws, including specifications, assembly instructions, lubrication guidelines, and application parameters.
Operating Conditions: Considerations include load rating, maximum speed, critical bending speed, and permissible buckling force. Radial forces and torques can reduce durability.
Assembly Instructions: Ensure parallel alignment of guiding elements and concentric assembly of the nut on the spindle. Pay attention to tolerance relationships and provide alignment options for accuracy and cost efficiency.
Lubrication Guidelines: Proper lubrication is essential for maintaining performance. Use lubricants similar to those for rolling bearings, avoiding MoS2 or graphite. Regular re-lubrication is necessary. Grease and oil lubrication options are detailed, with specific recommendations for different environments.
Lubricant Properties: Various lubricants are listed with their properties, including temperature range, viscosity, and field of application. Compatibility and specific requirements for different industries are highlighted.
Type Designation Code: A detailed coding system for identifying screw and nut assemblies is provided, including parameters like nominal diameter, pitch, nut type, precision class, and lubrication.
Application Parameters: Details on mounting type, load capacity, speed, accuracy, and environmental conditions are provided. Users are encouraged to consult SNR for specific applications.
Additional Information: Further details on NTN-SNR products for linear motion are available in their catalogues.

Travel variation and travel deviation The tolerance classes of the SNR ball screws are defined in accordance with ISO 3408. The tolerance classes T0-T5 are determined according to the mean travel variation and the tolerance of the travel deviations over the entire usable travel lu. For tolerances T7-T10 the mean deviation over the length 300 mm is defined at anywhere over the length of thread. l0 Travel deviation Actual travel variation The usable travel is the stroke plus length of the ball nut. le The overrun is the axial travel beyond the usable travel serving the safety purpose. The narrowed...
