Accuracy of the Ball Screw

Lead Angle Accuracy
The accuracy of the Ball Screw in the lead angle is controlled in accordance with the JIS standards
(JIS B 1192 - 1997).
Accuracy grades C0 to C5 are defined in the linearity and the directional property, and C7 to C10 in
the travel distance error in relation to 300 mm.

Fig.1 Terms on Lead Angle Accuracy
[Actual Travel Distance]

An error in the travel distance measured with an
actual Ball Screw.
[Reference Travel Distance]
Generally, it is the same as nominal travel
distance, but can be an intentionally corrected
value of the nominal travel distance according
to the intended use.
[Target Value for Reference Travel Distance]
You may provide some tension in order to prevent the screw shaft from runout, or set the reference travel distance in negative or positive
value in advance given the possible expansion/
contraction from external load or temperature.
In such cases, indicate a target value for the
reference travel distance.
[Representative Travel Distance]

It is a straight line representing the tendency in
the actual travel distance, and obtained with the
least squares method from the curve that indicates the actual travel distance.
[Representative Travel Distance Error (in )]
Difference between the representative travel
distance and the reference travel distance.
[Fluctuation]
The maximum width of the actual travel distance
between two straight lines drawn in parallel with
the representative travel distance.
[Fluctuation/300]
Indicates a fluctuation against a given thread
length of 300 mm.
[Fluctuation/2]
A fluctuation in one revolution of the screw shaft.

Note) The measurements on these items include the effect of the runout of the screw shaft diameter. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the correction value from the overall runout of the screw shaft axis, using the ratio of the distance between the fulcrum and measurement point to the overall screw shaft length, and add the obtained value to the table
above.

Preload
A preload is provided in order to eliminate the axial clearance and minimize the displacement under
an axial load.
When performing a highly accurate positioning, a preload is generally provided.
[Rigidity of the Ball Screw under a Preload]
When a preload is provided to the Ball Screw, the rigidity of the nut is increased.
Fig.4 shows elastic displacement curves of the Ball Screw under a preload and without a preload.

Fig.6
The A and B sides are provided with preload Fa0 by changing the groove pitch in the center of the
nut to create a phase. Because of the preload, the A and B sides are elastically displaced by a0
each. If an axial load (Fa) is applied from outside in this state, the displacement of the A and B sides
is calculated as follows.
B = a0 -- a
Ball Screw
A = a0 + a
In other words, the loads on the A and B sides are expressed as follows:
FA = Fa0 + (Fa -- Fa') FB = Fa0 -- Fa'

Therefore, under a preload, the load that the A side receives equals to FaFa'. This means that
since load Fa', which is applied when the A side receives no preload, is deducted from Fa, the displacement of the A side is smaller.
This effect extends to the point where the displacement (a0) caused by the preload applied on the B
side reaches zero.
To what extent is the elastic displacement reduced? The relationship between the axial load on
the Ball Screw under no preload and the elastic displacement can be expressed by aFa2/3. From
Fig.6, the following equations are established.
a0 = KFa0
2/3
2a0 = KFt
2/3

Fa0
( )

(Kconstant )
= 2 Ft = 2
3/2
Fa0 = 2.8Fa0
3Fa0
Thus, the Ball Screw under a preload is displaced by a0 when an axial load (Ft) approximately three
times greater than the preload is provided from outside. As a result, the displacement of the Ball
Screw under a preload is half the displacement (2a0) of the Ball Screw without a preload.
As stated above, since the preloading is effective up to approximately three times the applied preload, the optimum preload is one third of the maximum axial load.
Note, however, that an excessive preload adversely affects the service life and heat generation. As a
guideline, the maximum preload should be set at 10% of the basic dynamic load rating (Ca) at a maximum.

Thus, with the reference torque in Table14 being between 600 and 1,000 N-mm, effective thread
length 4,000 mm or less and accuracy grade C3, the coefficient of torque fluctuation is obtained as
30%.
As a result, the torque fluctuation is calculated as follows.

Permissible Axial Load

[Buckling Load on the Screw Shaft]
With the Ball Screw, it is necessary to select a screw shaft so that it will not buckle when the maximum compressive load is applied in the axial direction.

If determining a buckling load by calculation, it can be obtained from the equation (5) below. Note

Permissible Rotational Speed

[Dangerous Speed of the Screw Shaft]
When the rotational speed reaches a high magnitude, the Ball Screw may resonate and eventually
become unable to operate due to the screw shafts natural frequency. Therefore, it is necessary to
select a model so that it is used below the resonance point (dangerous speed).
Fig.13 on A15-34 shows the relationship between the screw shaft diameter and a dangerous
speed.
If determining a dangerous speed by calculation, it can be obtained from the equation (7) below.

Static Safety Factor

The basic static load rating (C0a) generally equals to the permissible axial load of a Ball Screw.
Depending on the conditions, it is necessary to take into account the following static safety factor
against the calculated load. When the Ball Screw is stationary or in motion, unexpected external
force may be applied through an inertia caused by the impact or the start and stop.

*The basic static load rating (C0a) is a static load with a constant direction and magnitude whereby the sum of the permanent
deformation of the rolling element and that of the raceway on the contact area under the maximum stress is 0.0001 times the
rolling element diameter. With the Ball Screw, it is defined as the axial load. (Specific values of each Ball Screw model are
indicated in the specification tables for the corresponding model number.)
504E
Studying the Service Life

[Service Life of the Ball Screw]
The Ball Screw in motion under an external load receives repeated stress on its raceways and balls.
When the stress reaches the limit, the raceways break from fatigue and their surfaces flakes like
scales. This phenomenon is called flaking. The service life of the Ball Screw is the total number of
revolutions until the first flaking occurs on any of the raceways or the balls as a result of rolling fatigue of the material.
The service life of the Ball Screw varies from unit to unit even if they are manufactured in the same
process and used in the same operating conditions. For this reason, when determining the service life
of a Ball Screw unit, the nominal life as defined below is used as a guideline.
The nominal life is the total number of revolutions that 90% of identical Ball Screw units in a group
achieve without developing flaking (scale-like pieces of a metal surface) after they independently
operate in the same conditions.
[Calculating the Rated Life]
The service life of the Ball Screw is calculated from the equation (30) below using the basic dynamic
load rating (Ca) and the applied axial load.

*The basic dynamic load rating (Ca) is used in calculating the service life when a Ball Screw operates under a load. The basic dynamic load rating is a load with interlocked direction and magnitude under which the nominal life (L) equals to 106rev.
when a group of the same Ball Screw units independently operate. (Specific basic dynamic load ratings (Ca) are indicated in
the specification tables of the corresponding model numbers.)
*The rated service life is estimated by calculating the load on the premise that the product is set up in ideal mounting conditions with the assurance of good lubrication. The service life can be affected by the precision of the mounting materials used
and any distortion.

If an axial load acting on the Ball Screw is present, it is necessary to calculate the service life by determining the average axial load.

conditions.

To determine the average axial load using a rotational speed and time, instead of a distance, calculate the average axial load by determining the distance in the equation below.

When the Applied Load Sign Changes

If the sign (positive or negative) used for variable load is always the same, there are no
problems with formula (33). However, if the variable load sign changes depending on the type
of operation, calculate the average axial load
for either positive or negative load, allowing for
the load direction. (If the average axial load for
positive load is calculated, the negative load is
taken to be zero.) The larger of the two average axial loads is taken as the average axial
load when the service life is calculated.

Studying the Positioning Accuracy

Causes of Error in the Positioning Accuracy
The causes of error in the positioning accuracy include the lead angle accuracy, the axial clearance
and the axial rigidity of the feed screw system. Other important factors include the thermal displacement from heat and the orientation change of the guide system during traveling.
Studying the Lead Angle Accuracy

It is necessary to select the correct accuracy grade of the Ball Screw that satisfies the required positioning accuracy from the Ball Screw accuracies ( Table1 on A15-12 ). Table23 on A1548 shows examples of selecting the accuracy grades by the application.
Studying the Axial Clearance

The axial clearance is not a factor of positioning accuracy in single-directional feed. However, it will
cause a backlash when the feed direction is inversed or the axial load is inversed. Select an axial
clearance that meets the required backlash from Table10 and Table13 on A15-19.

Studying the Axial Clearance of the Feed Screw System

Of the axial rigidities of the feed screw system, the axial rigidity of the screw shaft fluctuates according to the stroke position. When the axial rigidity is large, such change in the axial rigidity of the
screw shaft will affect the positioning accuracy. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the
rigidity of the feed screw system (A15-43 to A15-46).

Stroke length: 600 mm (L=100 mm to 700 mm)
Screw shaft mounting type: fixed-supported
[Consideration]
The difference in axial rigidity between L = 100 mm and L = 700 mm applied only to the axial rigidity
of the screw shaft.
Therefore, positioning error due to the axial rigidity of the feed screw system equals to the difference
in the axial displacement of the screw shaft between L = 100 mm and L = 700 mm.

Studying the Thermal Displacement through Heat Generation

If the temperature of the screw shaft increases during operation, the screw shaft is elongated due to
heat thereby to lower the positioning accuracy. The expansion and contraction of the screw shaft is
calculated using the equation (41) below.
41
: Axial expansion/contraction of the screw shaft (mm)

: Thermal expansion coefficient
(1210-6/)
: Temperature change in the screw shaft

()
t
: Effective thread length

(mm)
Thus, if the temperature of the screw shaft increases by 1, the screw shaft is elongated by 12 m
per meter. Therefore, as the Ball Screw travels faster, the more heat is generated. So, as the temperature increases, the positioning accuracy lowers. Accordingly, if high accuracy is required, it is
necessary to take measures to cope with the temperature increase.
[Measures to Cope with the Temperature Rise]
Minimize the Heat Generation
Minimize the preloads on the Ball Screw and the support bearing.
Increase the Ball Screw lead and reduce the rotational speed.
Select a correct lubricant. (See Accessories for Lubrication on A24-2.)
Cool the circumference of the screw shaft with a lubricant or air.
Set a negative target value for the reference travel distance of the Ball Screw.
Generally, set a negative target value for the reference travel distance assuming a temperature
increase of 2 to 5 by heat.
(0.02mm to 0.06 mm/m)
Preload the shaft screw with tension. (See Fig.10 of the structure on A15-29.)

Studying the Orientation Change during Traveling

The lead angle accuracy of the Ball Screw equals the positioning accuracy of the shaft center of the
Ball Screw. Normally, the point where the highest positioning accuracy is required changes according to the ball screw center and the vertical or horizontal direction. Therefore, the orientation change
during traveling affects the positioning accuracy.
The largest factor of orientation change affecting the positioning accuracy is pitching if the change
occurs in the ball screw center and the vertical direction, and yawing if the change occurs in the
horizontal direction.
Accordingly, it is necessary to study the orientation change (accuracy in pitching, yawing, etc.) during the traveling on the basis of the distance from the ball screw center to the location where positioning accuracy is required.
Positioning error due to pitching and yawing is obtained using the equation (42) below.

Structure and Features
The use of a ball cage in the Ball Screw with the Ball Cage eliminates collision and friction between
balls and increases the grease retention. This makes it possible to achieve a low noise, a low torque
fluctuation and a long-term maintenance-free operation.
In addition, this Ball Screw is superbly capable of responding to the high speed because of an ideal
ball recirculation structure, a strengthened circulation path and an adoption of the ball cage.
Ball Cage Effect

[Low Noise, Acceptable Running Sound]
The use of the ball cage eliminates the collision
noise between the balls. Additionally, as balls
are picked up in the tangential direction, the
collision noise from the ball circulation has also
been eliminated.

Note) The rigidity values in the table represent the spring constants obtained from
the load and the elastic deformation when providing a preload 10% of the basic
dynamic load rating (Ca) and applying an axial load three times greater than the
preload.
These values do not include the rigidity of the components related to mounting the
ball screw nut. Therefore, it is normally appropriate to regard roughly 80% of the
value in the table as the actual value.
If the applied preload (Fa0) is not 0.1 Ca, the rigidity value (KN) is obtained from
the following equation.

Note2) The rigidity values (K) in the table represent spring constants each obtained
from the load and the elastic deformation under an axial load representing 30%
of the basic dynamic load rating (Ca).
These values do not include the rigidity of the components related to mounting
the ball screw nut. Therefore, it is normally appropriate to regard roughly 80% of
the rigidity value (K) in the table as the actual value.

In the DIN standard compliant Ball Screw, balls under a load roll in the raceway cut between the
screw shaft and the nut while receiving the axial load, travel along the groove of a deflector embedded inside the nut to the adjacent raceway, and then circulate back to the loaded area. Thus, the
balls perform infinite rolling motion.
Two types of nuts are available: model EB of oversized-ball preload type or non-preloaded type, and
model EP of offset preloaded type.
[Compact]
This Ball Screw is compactly built. Because of an internal circulation system using deflectors, the
outer diameter of the nut is 70 to 80% of the conventional double nut and the overall nut length is
only 60 to 80% of the return pipe nut.
[Compliant with a DIN standard]
The nut flange shape, mounting holes and rated load are compliant with DIN69051.

This type of Ball Screw is mass manufactured by cutting the standardized screw shafts of Precision
Ball Screws to regular lengths. Additional machining of the shaft ends can easily be performed.
To meet various intended purposes, THK offers several Ball Screw models with different types of
nuts: the single-nut type (model BNF), the offset preload-nut type (model BIF) and the miniature Ball
Screw (models MDK and MBF).
[Contamination Protection]
Nuts of the following model numbers are attached with a labyrinth seal.
All variations of models BNF and BIF
Model MDK0802/1002/1202/1402/1404/1405
When dust or other foreign material may enter the Ball Screw, it is necessary to use a contamination
protection device (e.g., bellows) to completely protect the screw shaft.
[Lubrication]
The ball screw nuts are supplied with lithium soap-group grease with shipments.
(Models MDK and MBF are applied only with an anti-rust oil.)
Surface hardness of the effect thread

: HRC58 to 64
Hardness of the screw shaft ends
All variation of models BNF and BIF; model MDK 1405
: HRC22 to 27
All variations of model MBF; model MDK0401 to 1404
: HRC35 or below
THK has standardized the shapes of the screw shaft ends in order to allow speedy estimation and
manufacturing of the Ball Screws.
The shapes of shaft ends are divided into those allowing the standard support units to be used
(symbols H, K and J) and those compliant with JIS B 1192-1997 (symbols A, B and C). See A15322 for details.
A15-101
Ball Screw
[Additional Machining of the Shaft End]

Since only the effective thread of the screw shaft is surface treated with induction-hardening (all
variations of models BNF and BIF; model MDK 1405) or carburizing (all variations of model MBF;
model MDK0401 to 1404), the shaft ends can additionally be machined easily either by grinding or
milling.
In addition, since both ends of the screw shaft have a center hole, they can be cylindrically ground.
504E
Types and Features

[Preload Type]
Model BIF
The right and left screws are provided with a
phase in the middle of the ball screw nut, and
an axial clearance is set at a below-zero value
(under a preload). This compact model is capable of a smooth motion.
A15-102
504E
[No Preload Type]
Models MDK and MBF
A miniature type with a screw shaft diameter of

4 to 14 mm and a lead of 1 to 5mm.
Model BNF
The simplest type with a single ball screw nut. It

is designed to be mounted using the bolt holes
drilled on the flange.

Features
To meet the space-saving requirement, this type of Ball Screw has a standardized screw shaft and a ball
screw nut. The ends of the screw shaft are standardized to fit the corresponding support unit. The shaft support method with models BNK0401, 0501 and 0601 is fixed-free, while other models use the fixed-supported
method with the shaft directly coupled with the motor.
Screw shafts and nuts are compactly designed. When a support unit and a nut bracket are combined with a Ball Screw, the assembly can be mounted on your machine as it is. Thus, a high-accuracy feed mechanism can easily be achieved.
[Contamination Protection and Lubrication]
Each ball screw nut contains a right amount of grease. In addition, the ball nuts of model BNK0802
or higher contain a labyrinth seal (with models BNK1510, BNK1520, BNK1616, BNK2020 and
BNK2520, the end cap also serves as a labyrinth seal).
When foreign material may enter the screw nut, it is necessary to use a dust-prevention device (e.g.,
bellows) to completely protect the screw shaft.

For THK Precision Ball Screws, a wide array of precision-ground screw shafts and ball screw nuts
are available as standard to meet diversified applications.

[Combinations of Various shaft Diameters and Leads]
You can select the combination of a shaft diameter and a lead that meet the intended use from the
various nut types and the screw shaft leads. Those nut types include the return-pipe nuts, which
represent the most extensive variations among the series, the compact simple nuts and the largelead end-cap nuts.
[Standard-stock Types (with Unfinished Shaft Ends/Finished Shaft Ends) are Available]
The unfinished shaft end types, which are mass manufactured by cutting the standardized screw
shafts to the standard lengths, and those with finished shaft ends, for which the screw shaft ends
are machined to match the corresponding the support units, are available as the standard.
[Accuracy Standards Compliant with JIS (ISO)]
The accuracy of the Ball Screw is controlled in accordance with the JIS standards (JIS B1192-1997).

[Structure and Features of Offset Preload Type Simple-Nut Ball Screw]

The Simple-Nut Ball Screw is an offset preload type in which a phase is provided in the middle of a
single ball screw nut, and an axial clearance is set at a below-zero value (under a preload).
The Simple-Nut Ball Screw has a more compact structure and allows smoother motion than the conventional double-nut type (spacer inserted between two nuts).

Rotational Performance
The preload adjustment with Simple Nut Ball

Screw is performed according to the ball diameter.
This eliminates the inconsistency in the contact angle,
which is the most important factor of the Ball Screw
performance. It also ensures the high rigidity, the
smooth motion and the high wobbling accuracy.
The use of a spacer in the double-nuts tends to cause

inconsistency in the contact angle due to inaccurate
flatness of the spacer surface and an inaccurate perpendicularity of the nut. This results in a non-uniform
ball contact, an inferior rotational performance and a
low wobbling accuracy.
Dimensions
Ball Screw
Since Simple-Nut Ball Screw is based on apreloading

mechanism that does not require a spacer, the overall
nut length can be kept short. As a result, the whole nut
can be lightly and compactly designed.

Accuracy Life
Simple-Nut Ball Screw model DIK has a similar
preloading structure to that of the double-nut type
although the former only has one ball screw shaft.
As a result, no differential slip or spin occurs, thus to
minimize the increase in the rotational torque and the
generation of heat. Accordingly, a high level of accuracy can be maintained over a long period.
With the oversized-ball preload nut Ball Screw, a preload is provided through the balls each in contact with
the raceway at four points. This causes differential
slip and spin to increase the rotational torque, resulting in an accelerated wear and a heat generation.
Therefore, the accuracy deteriorates in a short period.

Types and Features
[Preload Type]
Model BIF
The right and the left screws are provided with

a phase in the middle of the ball screw nut, and
Model DIK
The right and the left screws are provided with

a phase in the middle of the ball screw nut, and
The most common type with a preload provided

via a spacer between the two combined ball
screw nuts to eliminate the backlash. It can
be mounted using the bolt holes drilled on the
flange.
Model DKN
A preload is provided via a spacer between

the two combined ball screw nuts to achieve a
below-zero axial clearance (under a preload).
A15-179
Ball Screw
Model BNFN
504E
Model BLW
Since a preload is provided through a spacer

between two large lead nuts, high-speed feed
without by backlash is ensured.
[No Preload Type]
Model BNF
The simplest type with a single ball screw nut. It

is designed to be mounted using the bolt holes
drilled on the flange.
Model DK
The most compact type, with a ball screw nut

diameter 70 to 80% of that of the return-pipe
nut.
Model MDK
4 to 14 mm and a lead of 1 to 5mm.
A15-180
504E
Model WHF
This Ball Screw for high-speed feed achieves a

DN value of 120,000 by using a new circulation
structure.
Since the nut outer diameter and the mounting holes of this model are dimensionally interchangeable with the previous model WGF,
model WGF can be replaced with this model.
(WHF1530, WHF2040 and WHF2550)
Models BLK/WGF
With model BLK, the shaft diameter is equal

to the lead dimension. Model WGF has a lead
dimension 1.5 to 3 times longer than the shaft
diameter.
Since mounting screw holes are machined on

the square ball screw nut, this model can compactly be mounted on the machine without a
housing.

[Model DIR]
Standard-Lead Rotary-Nut Ball Screw model
DIR is a rotary-nut Ball Screw that has a structure where a simple-nut Ball Screw is integrated
with a support bearing.
Its ball screw nut serves as a ball recirculation
structure using deflectors. Balls travel along
the groove of the deflector mounted in the ball
screw nut to the adjacent raceway, and then
circulate back to the loaded area to complete an
infinite rolling motion.
Being an offset preload nut, the single ball
screw nut provides different phases to the right
and left thread in the middle of the nut, thus to
set the axial clearance below zero (a preload is
provided). This allows more compact, smoother
motion to be achieved than the conventional
double-nut type (a spacer is inserted between
two nuts).
The support bearing comprises of two rows of

DB type angular bearings with a contact angle
of 45 to provide a preload. The collar, previously used to mount a pulley, is integrated with
the ball screw nut. (See the A section.)
45
45
Compact
Because of the internal circulation mechanism using a deflector, the outer diameter is only 70 to
80%, and the overall length is 60 to 80%, of that of the return-pipe nut, thus to reduce the weight
and decrease the inertia during acceleration.
Since the nut and the support bearing are integrated, a highly accurate, and a compact design is achieved.
In addition, small inertia due to the lightweight ball screw nut ensures high responsiveness.
Capable of Fine Positioning

Being a Standard-Lead Ball Screw, it is capable of fine positioning despite that the ball screw nut
rotates.
Accuracy can Easily be Established

As the support bearing is integrated with the outer ring, the bearing can be assembled with the nut
housing on the end face of the outer ring flange. This makes it easy to center the ball screw nut and
establish accuracy.
Well Balanced
Since the deflector is evenly placed along the circumference, a superb balance is ensured while the
ball screw nut is rotating.

Stability in the Low-speed Range

Traditionally, motors tend to have an uneven torque and a speed in the low-speed range due to the
external causes. With model DIR, the motor can be connected independently with the screw shaft
and the ball screw nut, thus to allow micro feeding within the motors stable rotation range.
[Model BLR]
The Rotary Ball Screw is a rotary-nut ball screw unit that has an integrated structure consisting of a
ball screw nut and a support bearing. The support bearing is an angular bearing that has a contact
angle of 60, contains an increased number of balls and achieves large axial rigidity.
Model BLR is divided into two types: Precision Ball Screw and Rolled Screw Ball.
Smooth Motion
It achieves smoother motion than rack-and-pinion based straight motion.
Low Noise even in High-speed Rotation

Model BLR produces very low noise when the balls are picked up along the end cap. In addition, the
balls circulate by passing through the ball screw nut, allowing this model to be used at high speed.
High Rigidity
The support bearing of this model is larger than that of the screw shaft rotational type. Thus, its axial
rigidity is significantly increased.
Compact
Since the nut and the support bearing are integrated, a highly accurate, and a compact design is
achieved.
Easy Installation
By simply mounting this model to the housing with bolts, a ball screw nut rotating mechanism can be
obtained. (For the housings inner-diameter tolerance, H7 is recommended.)

The Ball Screw/Spline contains the Ball Screw grooves and the Ball Spline groove crossing one
another. The nuts of the Ball Screw and the Ball Spline have dedicated support bearings directly
embedded on the circumference of the nuts.
The Ball Screw/Spline is capable of performing three (rotational, linear and spiral) modes of motion
with a single shaft by rotating or stopping the spline nut.
It is optimal for machines using a combination of rotary and straight motions, such as scholar robots
Z-axis, assembly robot, automatic loader, and machining centers ATC equipment.
[Zero Axial Clearance]
The Ball Spline has an angular-contact structure that causes no backlash in the rotational direction,
enabling highly accurate positioning.
[Lightweight and Compact]
Since the nut and the support bearing are integrated, highly accurate, compact design is achieved.
In addition, small inertia because of the lightweight ball screw nut ensures high responsiveness.
[Easy Installation]
The Ball Spline nut is designed so that balls do not fall off even if the spline nut is removed from the
shaft, making installation easy. The Ball Screw/Spline can easily be mounted simply by securing it to
the housing with bolts. (For the housings inner-diameter tolerance, H7 is recommended.)
[Highly Rigid Support Bearing]

The support bearing on the Ball Screw has a contact angle of 60 in the axial direction while that on
the Ball Spline has a contact angle of 30 in the moment direction, thus to provide a highly rigid shaft
support.
In addition, a dedicated rubber seal is attached as standard to prevent entry of foreign materials.

Rolled Ball Screw

THK Rolled Ball Screws are low priced feed screws that use a screw shaft rolled with high accuracy
and specially surface-ground, instead of a thread-ground shaft used in the Precision Ball Screws.
The ball raceways of the ball screw nut are all thread-ground, thus to achieve a smaller axial clearance and smoother motion than the conventional rolled ball screw.
In addition, a wide array of types are offered as standard in order to allow optimal products to be selected according to the application.
[Achieves Lead Angle Accuracy of Class C7]
Screw shafts with travel distance error of classes C7 and C8 are also manufactured as the standard
in addition to class C10 to meet a broad range of applications.
Travel distance
C7 : 0.05/300 (mm)
C8 : 0.10/300 (mm)
C10 : 0.21/300 (mm)
(For maximum length of screw shaft by accuracy grade, see A15-25.)
[Achieves Roughness of the Ball Raceways of the Screw Shaft at 0.20 a or Less]
The surface of the screw shafts ball raceways is specially ground after the shaft is rolled to ensure
surface roughness of 0.20 a or less, which is equal to that of the ground thread of the Precision Ball
Screw.
[Low Price]
The screw shaft is induction-hardened or carburized after being rolled, and its surface is then specially ground. This allows the rolled Ball Screw to be priced lower than the Precision Ball Screw with
a ground thread.
[Effects of high levels of dustproofing]
The ball screw nut is incorporated with a compact labyrinth seal or a brush seal. This achieves low
friction, high dust-prevention effect and a longer service life of the Ball Screw.
A15-283
Ball Screw
[The Ball Raceways of the Ball Screw Nut are Finished by Grinding]
THK finishes the ball raceways of Rolled Ball Screw nuts by grinding, just as the Precision Ball
Screws, to secure the durability and the smooth motion.
504E
Types and Features

[Preload Type]
Model JPF
This model achieves zero-backlash through

a constant preloading method by shifting the
phase, with the central part of the nut as a
spring structure.
The constant preload method allows the ball
screw to absorb a pitch error and achieve a
smooth motion.
Axial clearance: 0 or less
Direction of applied load

The direction of the applied load during use must be in the recommended loading direction indicated
in the figure. If a load is applied in the opposite direction, it may cause the spring structure to fracture, and therefore, the applied load must be 0.1 Ca or less during use.

[No Preload Type]
Model BTK
A compact type with a round nut incorporated
with a return pipe. The flange circumference is
cut flat at the top and bottom, allowing the shaft
center to be positioned lower.
A15-284
504E
Rolled Ball Screw
Model MTF

6 to 12 mm and a lead of 1 to 2 mm.
Model WHF
Models BLK/WTF
Ball Screw
This Ball Screw for high-speed feed achieves a

DN value of 100,000 by using a new circulation
structure.
Since the nut outer diameter and the mounting holes of this model are dimensionally interchangeable with the previous model WTF,
model WTF can be replaced with this model.
(WHF1530, WHF2040 and WHF2550)
Using an end-cap method, these models

achieve stable motion in a high-speed rotation.
A15-285
504E
Model CNF
With a combination of 4 rows of large-lead loaded grooves and a long nut, a long service life is
achieved.
Square Ball Screw Nut Model BNT

Since the mounting screw holes are machined
on the square ball screw nut, this model can
compactly be mounted on the machine without
a housing.

The use of a guide plate system provides a compact design with a round outer diameter for the nut.
The screw shaft is roll-molded with a high degree of precision to ensure smooth operation.
[Achieves Lead Angle Accuracy of Class C7]
The high-precision roll molding provides normal grade (0.1/300 mm) or C7 grade (0.05/300 mm)
error in the amount of movement. The axial clearance is also small at 0.05 mm, allowing the product
to be used in a wide range of applications.
[Quick delivery, low cost]
Because they are mass-produced in set lengths, screw shafts can be supplied at highly affordable
prices. And because they are held in stock as shaft-nut combinations, they can be delivered quickly.
[Simple shaft end machining]
To facilitate additional machining of screw shaft ends, a section has been left unhardened. Use nut
stroke ranges that are within the hardened area shown in the specification tables.

The Rotary Ball Screw is a rotary-nut ball screw unit that has an integrated structure consisting of a
ball screw nut and a support bearing. The support bearing is an angular bearing that has a contact
angle of 60, contains an increased number of balls and achieves a large axial rigidity.
Model BLR is divided into two types: the Precision Ball Screw and the Rolled Screw Ball.
[Smooth Motion]
It achieves smoother motion than rack-and-pinion based straight motion.
[Low Noise even in High-speed Rotation]
Model BLR produces very low noise when the balls are picked up along the end cap. In addition, the
balls circulate by passing through the ball screw nut, allowing this model to be used at high speed.
[High Rigidity]
The support bearing of this model is larger than that of the screw shaft rotational type. Thus, its axial
rigidity is significantly increased.
[Compact]
Since the nut and the support bearing are integrated, a highly accurate, and a compact design is
achieved.
Type
[No Preload Type]

Ball Screw
[Easy Installation]
By simply mounting this model to the housing using bolts, a ball screw nut rotating mechanism can
be obtained. (For the housings inner-diameter tolerance, H7 is recommended.)
504E
Accuracy Standards
The accuracy of model BLR is compliant with the JIS standard (JIS B 1192-1997) except for the radial runout of the circumference of the ball screw nut from the screw axis (D) and the perpendicularity of the flange-mounting surface against the screw axis (C).

Fig.1 Structure of the Support Unit

The Support Unit comes in six types: models EK, FK, EF, and FF, which are standardized for the
standard Ball Screw assembly provided with the finished shaft ends, and models BK and BF, which
are standardized for ball screws in general.
The Support Unit on the fixed side contains a JIS Class 5-compliant angular bearing provided with
an adjusted preload. The miniature type Support Unit models EK/FK 4, 5 and 6, in particular, incorporate a miniature bearing with a contact angle of 45 developed exclusively for miniature Ball
Screws. This provides stable rotational performance with a high rigidity and an accuracy.
The Support Unit on the supported side uses a deep-groove ball bearing.
The internal bearings of the Support Unit models EK, FK and BK contain an appropriate amount of
lithium soap-group grease that is sealed with a special seal. Thus, these models are capable of operating over a long period.
A15-314
504E
Support Unit
[Uses the Optimal Bearing]
To ensure the rigidity balance with the Ball Screw, the Support Unit uses an angular bearing (contact
angle: 30; DF configuration) with a high rigidity and a low torque. Miniature Support Unit models
EK/FK 4, 5 and 6 are incorporated with a miniature angular bearing with a contact angle of 45 developed exclusively for miniature Ball Screws. This bearing has a greater contact angle of 45 and
an increased number of balls with a smaller diameter. The high rigidity and accuracy of the miniature
angular bearing provides the stable rotational performance.
[Support Unit Shapes]
The square and round shapes are available for the Support Unit to allow the selection according to
the intended use.
[Compact and Easy Installation]
The Support Unit is compactly designed to accommodate the space in the installation site. As the
bearing is provided with an appropriately adjusted preload, the Support Unit can be assembled with
a Ball Screw unit with no further machining. Accordingly, the required man-hours in the assembly
can be reduced and the assembly accuracy can be increased.

Mounting Procedure
[Installing the Support Unit]
(1) Install the fixed side Support Unit with the screw shaft.
(2) After inserting the fixed side Support Unit, secure the lock nut using the fastening set piece and
the hexagonal socket-head setscrews.
(3) Attach the supported side bearing to the screw shaft and secure the bearing using the snap ring,
and then install the assembly to the housing on the supported side.
Note1) Do no disassemble the Support Unit.
Note2) When inserting the screw shaft to the Support Unit, take care not to let the oil seal lip turn outward.
Note3) When securing the set piece with a hexagonal socket-head setscrew, apply an adhesive to the hexagonal sockethead setscrew before tightening it in order to prevent the screw from loosening. If planning to use the product in a
harsh environment, it is also necessary to take a measure to prevent other components/parts from loosening. Contact
THK for details.

[Installation onto the Table and the Base]

(1) If using a bracket when mounting the ball screw nut to the table, insert the nut into the bracket
and temporarily fasten it.
(2) Temporarily fasten the fixed side Support Unit to the base.
In doing so, press the table toward the fixed side Support Unit to align the axial center, and adjust the table so that it can travel freely.
If using the fixed side Support Unit as the reference point, secure a clearance between the ball
screw nut and the table or inside the bracket when making adjustment.
If using the table as the reference point, make the adjustment either by using the shim (for a
square type Support Unit), or securing the clearance between the outer surface of the nut and
the inner surface of the mounting section (for a round type Support Unit).
(3) Press the table toward the fixed-side Support Unit to align the axial center. Make the adjustment
by reciprocating the table several times so that the nut travels smoothly throughout the whole
stroke, and temporarily secure the Support Unit to the base.

Contaminaton Protection
Dust and foreign material that enter the Ball Screw may cause accelerated wear and breakage, as
with roller bearings. Therefore, where contamination by dust or foreign material (e.g., cutting chips)
is a possbility, screw shafts must always be completely covered by a contamination protection seal,
contamination protection accessories (e.g., bellows, screw cover, wiper ring), or similar measures.

Contamination Protection Seal for Ball Screws

If the Ball Screw is used in an atmosphere free from foreign material but with suspended dust, a
labyrinth seal (for precision Ball Screws) with symbol RR and a brush seal (for rolled Ball Screws)
with symbol ZZ can be used as contamination protection accessories.
The labyrinth seal is designed to maintain a slight clearance between the seal and the screw shaft
raceway so that torque does not develop and no heat is generated, though its effect in contamination protection is limited.
With Ball Screws except the large lead and super lead types, there is no difference in nut dimensions between those with and without a seal.

A total of eight slits on the circumference remove foreign materials in succession, and prevent entrance of foreign material.
Contacts the ball screw shaft to reduce the flowing out of grease.
Contacts the ball screw shaft at a constant pressure level using a spring, thus to minimize the
heat generation.
Since the material is highly resistant to the wear and the chemicals, its performance will not easily be
deteriorated even if it is used over a long period.
Can be attached together with QZ Lubricator.

QZ Lubricator
For the supported models and the ball screw nut dimension with QZ attached, see A15-358 to A15-365.
QZ Lubricator feeds a right amount of lubricant to the raceway of the ball screw shaft. This allows
an oil film to be constantly formed between the balls and the raceway, improves lubricity and significantly extends the lubrication maintenance interval.
The structure of QZ Lubricator consists of three major components: (1) a heavily oil-impregnated
fiber net (stores the lubricant), (2) a high-density fiber net (applies the lubricant to the raceway) and (3)
an oil-control plate (adjusts the oil flow). The lubricant contained in the QZ Lubricator is fed by the
capillary phenomenon, which is used also in felt pens and many other products.

Precautions on Use
Ball Screw
[Handling]
(1) Do not disassemble the parts. This will cause dust to enter the product resulting in loss of functionality.
(2) Tilting the screw shaft and the ball screw nut may cause them to fall by their own weight.
(3) Take care not to drop or strike the ball screw. This could cause injury or product damage. Giving
an impact to it could also cause damage to its function even if the product looks intact.
(4) Do not remove the ball screw nut from the ball screw shaft. Doing so may cause the balls or the
nut to fall off.
(5) Prevent foreign material, such as dust or cutting chips, from entering the system. This could
cause damage to ball circulation components and loss of functionality.
(6) Some types of coolant may impair product functionality. When planning to use the product in an
environment where the coolant penetrates the Ball Screw Nut, it may cause trouble to product
functions depending on the type of the coolant. Contact THK for details.
(7) Do not use the product at temperature of 80 or higher. Contact THK if you desire to use the
product at a temperature of 80 or higher.
(8) If the foreign materials such as dust or cutting chips adheres to the product, replenish the lubricant after cleaning the product with pure white kerosene. For available types of detergent, contact THK.
(9) When using this product with a vertical orientation, take preventive measures such as adding a
safety mechanism to prevent falls. The dead weight of the ball screw nut may cause it to fall.
(10)Do not use this product beyond its permissible rotational speed. Doing so may cause accidents
or component damage. Be sure to use the product within the specification range designated by
THK.
(11)Do not use undue force when fitting parts to the ball screw shaft and ball screw nut. Take particular care when installing parts as this may result in indentations in the raceway.
(12)If an offset or skewing occurs with the ball screw shaft support and the ball screw nut, it may
substantially shorten the service life. Pay much attention to components to be mounted and to
the mounting accuracy.
(13)In locations exposed to constant vibrations or in special environments such as clean rooms,
vacuum and low/high temperatures, it may not be possible to use standard products. Contact
THK for details.
(14)Do not cause the ball screw nut to overrun. This will lead to problems such as ball displacement
or damage to ball circulation components.
[Lubrication]
(1) Thoroughly remove anti-rust oil and feed lubricant before using the product.
(2) Do not mix lubricants of different physical properties.
(3) In locations exposed to constant vibrations or in special environments such as clean rooms, a
vacuum and a low/high temperature, normal lubricants may not be used. Contact THK for details.
(4) The use of special lubricants can lead to product damage. Contact THK before using such products.
(5) The lubrication interval varies according to the conditions. Contact THK for details.

Features of the Ball Screw

Driving Torque One Third of the Sliding Screw
With the Ball Screw, balls roll between the screw shaft and the nut to achieve high efficiency. Its
required driving torque is only one third of the conventional sliding screw. (See Fig.1 and Fig.2.) As
a result, it is capable of not only converting rotational motion to straight motion, but also converting
straight motion to rotational motion.

Capable of Micro Feeding
Travel distance (m)
The Ball Screw requires a minimal starting torque due to its rolling motion, and does not cause a
slip, which is inevitable with a sliding motion. Therefore, it is capable of an accurate micro feeding.

Features and Types

High Rigidity without Backlash

Since the Ball Screw is capable of receiving a preload, the axial clearance can be reduced to below
zero and the high rigidity is achieved because of the preload. In Fig.5, when an axial load is applied
in the positive (+) direction, the table is displaced in the same (+) direction. When an axial load is
provided in the reverse (-) direction, the table is displaced in the same (-) direction. Fig.6 shows the
relationship between the axial load and the axial displacement. As indicated in Fig.6, as the direction
of the axial load changes, the axial clearance occurs as a displacement. Additionally, when the Ball
Screw is provided with a preload, it gains a higher rigidity and a smaller axial displacement than a
zero clearance in the axial direction.

Lead Angle Accuracy
The accuracy of the Ball Screw in the lead angle is controlled in accordance with the JIS standards
(JIS B 1192 - 1997).
Accuracy grades C0 to C5 are defined in the linearity and the directional property, and C7 to C10 in
the travel distance error in relation to 300 mm.

[Actual Travel Distance]

An error in the travel distance measured with an
actual Ball Screw.
[Reference Travel Distance]
Generally, it is the same as nominal travel
distance, but can be an intentionally corrected
value of the nominal travel distance according
to the intended use.
[Target Value for Reference Travel Distance]
You may provide some tension in order to prevent the screw shaft from runout, or set the reference travel distance in negative or positive
value in advance given the possible expansion/
contraction from external load or temperature.
In such cases, indicate a target value for the
reference travel distance.
[Representative Travel Distance]

It is a straight line representing the tendency in
the actual travel distance, and obtained with the
least squares method from the curve that indicates the actual travel distance.
[Representative Travel Distance Error (in )]
Difference between the representative travel
distance and the reference travel distance.
[Fluctuation]
The maximum width of the actual travel distance
between two straight lines drawn in parallel with
the representative travel distance.
[Fluctuation/300]
Indicates a fluctuation against a given thread
length of 300 mm.
[Fluctuation/2]
A fluctuation in one revolution of the screw shaft.

Preload
A preload is provided in order to eliminate the axial clearance and minimize the displacement under
an axial load.
When performing a highly accurate positioning, a preload is generally provided.
[Rigidity of the Ball Screw under a Preload]
When a preload is provided to the Ball Screw, the rigidity of the nut is increased.

Fig.6
The A and B sides are provided with preload Fa0 by changing the groove pitch in the center of the
nut to create a phase. Because of the preload, the A and B sides are elastically displaced by a0
each. If an axial load (Fa) is applied from outside in this state, the displacement of the A and B sides
is calculated as follows.
B = a0 -- a
Ball Screw
A = a0 + a
In other words, the loads on the A and B sides are expressed as follows:
FA = Fa0 + (Fa -- Fa') FB = Fa0 -- Fa'

Therefore, under a preload, the load that the A side receives equals to FaFa'. This means that
since load Fa', which is applied when the A side receives no preload, is deducted from Fa, the displacement of the A side is smaller.
This effect extends to the point where the displacement (a0) caused by the preload applied on the B
side reaches zero.
To what extent is the elastic displacement reduced? The relationship between the axial load on
the Ball Screw under no preload and the elastic displacement can be expressed by aFa2/3. From
Fig.6, the following equations are established.
a0 = KFa0
2/3
2a0 = KFt

( )

Fa0 = 2.8Fa0

Thus, the Ball Screw under a preload is displaced by a0 when an axial load (Ft) approximately three
times greater than the preload is provided from outside. As a result, the displacement of the Ball
Screw under a preload is half the displacement (2a0) of the Ball Screw without a preload.
As stated above, since the preloading is effective up to approximately three times the applied preload, the optimum preload is one third of the maximum axial load.
Note, however, that an excessive preload adversely affects the service life and heat generation. As a
guideline, the maximum preload should be set at 10% of the basic dynamic load rating (Ca) at a maximum.

[Dangerous Speed of the Screw Shaft]
When the rotational speed reaches a high magnitude, the Ball Screw may resonate and eventually
become unable to operate due to the screw shafts natural frequency. Therefore, it is necessary to
select a model so that it is used below the resonance point (dangerous speed).
Fig.6 on B15-42 shows the relationship between the screw shaft diameter and a dangerous
speed.
If determining a dangerous speed by calculation, it can be obtained from the equation (7) below.

Static Safety Factor

The basic static load rating (C0a) generally equals to the permissible axial load of a Ball Screw.
Depending on the conditions, it is necessary to take into account the following static safety factor
against the calculated load. When the Ball Screw is stationary or in motion, unexpected external
force may be applied through an inertia caused by the impact or the start and stop.

[Permissible Load Safety Margin (Models HBN and SBKH)]

High load Ball Screw model HBN and high-load high-speed Ball Screw model SBKH, in comparison
to previous Ball Screws, are designed to achieve longer service lives under high load conditions,
and for axial load it is necessary to consider the permissible load Fp.
Permissible load Fp indicates the maxim axial load that the high load Ball Screw can receive, and
this range should not be exceeded.

*The basic static load rating (C0a) is a static load with a constant direction and magnitude whereby the sum of the permanent
deformation of the rolling element and that of the raceway on the contact area under the maximum stress is 0.0001 times the
rolling element diameter. With the Ball Screw, it is defined as the axial load. (Specific values of each Ball Screw model are
indicated in the specification tables for the corresponding model number.)
504E

[Service Life of the Ball Screw]
The Ball Screw in motion under an external load receives repeated stress on its raceways and balls.
When the stress reaches the limit, the raceways break from fatigue and their surfaces flakes like
scales. This phenomenon is called flaking. The service life of the Ball Screw is the total number of
revolutions until the first flaking occurs on any of the raceways or the balls as a result of rolling fatigue of the material.
The service life of the Ball Screw varies from unit to unit even if they are manufactured in the same
process and used in the same operating conditions. For this reason, when determining the service life
of a Ball Screw unit, the nominal life as defined below is used as a guideline.
The nominal life is the total number of revolutions that 90% of identical Ball Screw units in a group
achieve without developing flaking (scale-like pieces of a metal surface) after they independently

*The basic dynamic load rating (Ca) is used in calculating the service life when a Ball Screw operates under a load. The basic dynamic load rating is a load with interlocked direction and magnitude under which the nominal life (L) equals to 106rev.
when a group of the same Ball Screw units independently operate. (Specific basic dynamic load ratings (Ca) are indicated in
the specification tables of the corresponding model numbers.)
*The rated service life is estimated by calculating the load on the premise that the product is set up in ideal mounting conditions with the assurance of good lubrication. The service life can be affected by the precision of the mounting materials used
and any distortion.

When the Applied Load Sign Changes

If the sign (positive or negative) used for variable load is always the same, there are no
problems with formula (33). However, if the variable load sign changes depending on the type
of operation, calculate the average axial load
for either positive or negative load, allowing for
the load direction. (If the average axial load for
positive load is calculated, the negative load is
taken to be zero.) The larger of the two average axial loads is taken as the average axial
load when the service life is calculated.

Causes of Error in the Positioning Accuracy
The causes of error in the positioning accuracy include the lead angle accuracy, the axial clearance
and the axial rigidity of the feed screw system. Other important factors include the thermal displacement from heat and the orientation change of the guide system during traveling.

It is necessary to select the correct accuracy grade of the Ball Screw that satisfies the required positioning accuracy from the Ball Screw accuracies ( Table1 on B15-20 ). Table3 on B1556 shows examples of selecting the accuracy grades by the application.

The axial clearance is not a factor of positioning accuracy in single-directional feed. However, it will
cause a backlash when the feed direction is inversed or the axial load is inversed. Select an axial
clearance that meets the required backlash from Table10 and Table13 on B15-27.

Studying the Axial Clearance of the Feed Screw System

Of the axial rigidities of the feed screw system, the axial rigidity of the screw shaft fluctuates according to the stroke position. When the axial rigidity is large, such change in the axial rigidity of the
screw shaft will affect the positioning accuracy. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the
rigidity of the feed screw system (B15-51 to B15-54).

[Consideration]
The difference in axial rigidity between L = 100 mm and L = 700 mm applied only to the axial rigidity
of the screw shaft.
Therefore, positioning error due to the axial rigidity of the feed screw system equals to the difference
in the axial displacement of the screw shaft between L = 100 mm and L = 700 mm.

Point of Selection

If the temperature of the screw shaft increases during operation, the screw shaft is elongated due to
heat thereby to lower the positioning accuracy. The expansion and contraction of the screw shaft is
calculated using the equation (41) below.
41
: Axial expansion/contraction of the screw shaft (mm)

: Thermal expansion coefficient
(1210-6/)
: Temperature change in the screw shaft

()
t
: Effective thread length

(mm)
Thus, if the temperature of the screw shaft increases by 1, the screw shaft is elongated by 12 m
per meter. Therefore, as the Ball Screw travels faster, the more heat is generated. So, as the temperature increases, the positioning accuracy lowers. Accordingly, if high accuracy is required, it is
necessary to take measures to cope with the temperature increase.
[Measures to Cope with the Temperature Rise]
Minimize the Heat Generation
Minimize the preloads on the Ball Screw and the support bearing.
Increase the Ball Screw lead and reduce the rotational speed.
Select a correct lubricant. (See Accessories for Lubrication on A24-2.)
Cool the circumference of the screw shaft with a lubricant or air.
Set a negative target value for the reference travel distance of the Ball Screw.
Generally, set a negative target value for the reference travel distance assuming a temperature
increase of 2 to 5 by heat.
(0.02mm to 0.06 mm/m)
Preload the shaft screw with tension. (See Fig.3 of the structure on B15-37.)
B15-59
Ball Screw
Avoid Effect of Temperature Rise through Heat Generation
504E

The lead angle accuracy of the Ball Screw equals the positioning accuracy of the shaft center of the
Ball Screw. Normally, the point where the highest positioning accuracy is required changes according to the ball screw center and the vertical or horizontal direction. Therefore, the orientation change
during traveling affects the positioning accuracy.
The largest factor of orientation change affecting the positioning accuracy is pitching if the change
occurs in the ball screw center and the vertical direction, and yawing if the change occurs in the
horizontal direction.
Accordingly, it is necessary to study the orientation change (accuracy in pitching, yawing, etc.) during the traveling on the basis of the distance from the ball screw center to the location where positioning accuracy is required.
Positioning error due to pitching and yawing is obtained using the equation (42) below.

The lead angle accuracy must be 0.09 mm/300 mm or higher.
Therefore, select the following as the accuracy grade of the Ball Screw (see Table1 on B1520).
C7 (travel distance error: 0.05mm/300mm)
Accuracy grade C7 is available for both the Rolled and the Precision Ball Screws. Assume that a
Rolled Ball Screw is selected here because it is less costly.

0.15 mm or less.
Therefore, a Rolled Ball Screw model with a screw shaft diameter of 32 mm or less that meets the
axial clearance of 0.15 mm or less (see Table13 on B15-27) meets the requirements.
Thus, a Rolled Ball Screw model with a screw shaft diameter of 32 mm or less and an accuracy
grade of C7 is selected.
[Selecting a Screw Shaft]
Assuming the Screw Shaft Length

Assume the overall nut length to be 100 mm and the screw shaft end length to be 100 mm.
Therefore, the overall length is determined as follows based on the stroke length of 1,000 mm.
1000 + 200 = 1200 mm
Thus, the screw shaft length is assumed to be 1,200 mm.
Selecting a Lead
With the driving motors rated rotational speed being 3,000 min-1 and the maximum speed 1 m/s, the
Ball Screw lead is obtained as follows:
1100060
3000
= 20 mm
Therefore, it is necessary to select a type with a lead of 20 mm or longer.

In addition, the Ball Screw and the motor can be mounted in direct coupling without using a reduction gear. The minimum resolution per revolution of an AC servomotor is obtained based on the
resolution of the encoder (1,000 p/rev; 1,500 p/rev) provided as a standard accessory for the AC
servomotor, as indicated below.
1000 p/rev(without multiplication)
2000 p/rev(doubled)
3000 p/rev(doubled)
4000 p/rev(quadrupled)

Point of Selection
To meet the minimum feed amount of 0.02 mm/pulse, which is the selection requirement, the following should apply.
20mm 1000 p/rev
Lead
30mm 1500 p/rev
40mm 2000 p/rev
60mm 3000 p/rev
80mm 4000 p/rev
Selecting a Screw Shaft Diameter
Selecting a Screw Shaft Support Method

Since the assumed type has a long stroke length of 1,000 mm and operates at high speed of 1 m/s,
select either the fixed-supported or fixed-fixed configuration for the screw shaft support.
However, the fixed-fixed configuration requires a complicated structure, needs high accuracy in the
installation.
Accordingly, the fixed-supported configuration is selected as the screw shaft support method.
B15-71
Ball Screw
Those Ball Screw models that meet the requirements defined in Section [Selecting Lead Angle Accuracy and Axial Clearance] on B15-70: a rolled Ball Screw with a screw shaft diameter of 32 mm
or less; and the requirement defined in Section [Selecting a Screw Shaft] on B15-70: a lead of
20, 30, 40, 60 or 80 mm (see Table20 on B15-35) are as follows.
Shaft diameter Lead
15mm 20mm
15mm 30mm
20mm 20mm
20mm 40mm
30mm 60mm
Since the screw shaft length has to be 1,200 mm as indicated in Section [Selecting a Screw Shaft]
on B15-70, the shaft diameter of 15 mm is insufficient. Therefore, the Ball Screw should have
a screw shaft diameter of 20 mm or greater.
Accordingly, there are three combinations of screw shaft diameters and leads that meet the requirements: screw shaft diameter of 20 mm/lead of 20 mm; 20 mm/40 mm; and 30 mm/60 mm.

During forward acceleration:

Fa1 = (m1 + m2) g + f + (m1 + m2) = 550 N
During forward uniform motion:
Fa2 = (m1 + m2) g + f = 17 N
During forward deceleration:
Fa3 = (m1 + m2) g + f (m1 + m2) = 516 N
During backward acceleration:
Fa4 = (m1 + m2) g f (m1 + m2) = 550 N
During uniform backward motion:
Fa5 = (m1 + m2) g f = 17 N
During backward deceleration:
Fa6 = (m1 + m2) g f + (m1 + m2) = 516 N
Thus, the maximum axial load applied on the Ball Screw is as follows:
Famax = Fa1 = 550 N
Therefore, if there is no problem with a shaft diameter of 20 mm and a lead of 20 mm (smallest
thread minor diameter of 17.5 mm), then the screw shaft diameter of 30 mm should meet the requirements. Thus, the following calculations for the buckling load and the permissible compressive
and tensile load of the screw shaft are performed while assuming a screw shaft diameter of 20 mm
and a lead of 20 mm.

can be used without a problem.

Thus, with a Ball Screw having a screw shaft diameter of 20 mm and a lead of 20 mm, the maximum
rotational speed exceeds the dangerous speed.
In contrast, a combination of a screw shaft diameter of 20 mm and a lead of 40 mm, and another
of a screw shaft diameter of 30 mm and a lead of 60 mm, meet the dangerous speed and the DN
value.
Accordingly, a Ball Screw with a screw shaft diameter of 20 mm and a lead of 40 mm, or with a
screw shaft diameter of 30 mm and a lead of 60 mm, is selected.

Point of Selection

Study the permissible axial load of model WTF2040-2 (C0a = 13.6 kN).

[Studying the Rigidity]

Since the conditions for selection do not include rigidity and this element is not particularly necessary, it is not described here.
[Studying the Positioning Accuracy]

Accuracy grade C7 was selected in Section [Selecting Lead Angle Accuracy and Axial Clearance]
on B15-70.

Since positioning is performed in a given direction only, axial clearance is not included in the positioning
accuracy. As a result, there is no need to study the axial clearance.
WTF2040: axial clearance: 0.1 mm
WTF3060: axial clearance: 0.14 mm
Studying the Axial Rigidity

Since the load direction does not change, it is unnecessary to study the positioning accuracy on the
basis of the axial rigidity.

Since the ball screw center is 150 mm away from the point where the highest accuracy is required, it
is necessary to study the orientation change during traveling.
Assume that pitching can be done within 10 seconds because of the structure. The positioning error due to the pitching is obtained as follows:
a = sin
= 150 sin (10)
= 0.007 mm
Thus, the positioning accuracy (p) is obtained as follows:
p =
0.05 1000

0.007 + 0.06 = 0.234 mm
Since models WTF2040-2, WTF2040-3, WTF3060-2 and WTF3060-3 meet the selection requirements throughout the studying process in Section [Selecting Lead Angle Accuracy and Axial Clearance] on B15-70 to Section [Studying the Positioning Accuracy] on B15-79 , the most

Inertial Moment
The inertial moment applied to the motor equals to the inertial moment calculated in Section [Studying

Normally, the motor needs to have an inertial moment at least one tenth of the inertial moment applied to the motor, although the specific value varies depending on the motor manufacturer.

The lead angle accuracy must be 0.35mm/300 mm or higher.
Therefore, the accuracy grade of the Ball Screw (see Table1 on B15-20 ) needs to be C10
(travel distance error: 0.21 mm/300 mm).
Accuracy grade C10 is available for low priced, Rolled Ball Screws. Assume that a Rolled Ball Screw
is selected.
Selecting the Axial Clearance

The required backlashes is 0.1 mm or less. However, since an axial load is constantly applied in a
single direction with vertical mount, the axial load does not serve as a backlash no matter how large
it is.
Therefore, a low price, rolled Ball Screw is selected since there will not be a problem in axial clearance.
[Selecting a Screw Shaft]
Assuming the Screw Shaft Length

Assume the overall nut length to be 100 mm and the screw shaft end length to be 100 mm.
Therefore, the overall length is determined as follows based on the stroke length of 600mm.
600 + 200 = 800 mm
Thus, the screw shaft length is assumed to be 800 mm.
Selecting the Lead

With the driving motors rated rotational speed being 3,000 min1 and the maximum speed 0.3 m/s, the
Ball Screw lead is obtained as follows:
0.3601000
= 6 mm
3000
Therefore, it is necessary to select a type with a lead of 6mm or longer.
In addition, the Ball Screw and the motor can be mounted in direct coupling without using a reduction gear. The minimum resolution per revolution of an AC servomotor is obtained based on the
resolution of the encoder (1,000 p/rev; 1,500 p/rev) provided as a standard accessory for the AC
servomotor, as indicated below.

Point of Selection
To meet the minimum feed amount of 0.010mm/pulse, which is the selection requirement, the following should apply.

8mm 4000 p/rev
10mm 1000 p/rev
20mm 2000 p/rev
40mm 2000 p/rev
However, with the lead being 6 mm or 8 mm, the feed distance is 0.002 mm/pulse, and the starting pulse of
the controller that issues commands to the motor driver needs to be at least 150 kpps, and the cost of the
controller may be higher.
In addition, if the lead of the Ball Screw is greater, the torque required for the motor is also greater, and
thus the cost will be higher.
Therefore, select 10 mm for the Ball Screw lead.
Selecting the Screw Shaft Diameter

Those Ball Screw models that meet the lead being 10 mm as described in Section [Selecting Lead
Angle Accuracy and Axial Clearance] on B15-84 and Section [Selecting a Screw Shaft] on
B15-84 (see Table20 on B15-35) are as follows.
Shaft diameter Lead
15mm 10mm
20mm 10mm
25mm 10mm
Accordingly, the combination of a screw shaft diameter of 15 mm and a lead 10 mm is selected.
Since the assumed Ball Screw has a stroke length of 600 mm and operates at a maximum speed
of 0.3 m/s (Ball Screw rotational speed: 1,800 min-1), select the fixed-supported configuration for the

[Selecting a Nut]
Selecting a Nut Model Number

The Rolled Ball Screw with a screw shaft diameter of 15 mm and a lead of 10 mm is the following
large-lead Rolled Ball Screw model.
BLK1510-5.6
(Ca=9.8 kN, C0a=25.2 kN)

Assuming that an impact load is applied during an acceleration and a deceleration, set the static
safety factor (fS) at 2 (see Table1 on B15-47).

[Studying the Rigidity]

Since the conditions for selection do not include rigidity and this element is not particularly necessary, it is not described here.
[Studying the Positioning Accuracy]

Accuracy grade C10 was selected in Section [Selecting Lead Angle Accuracy and Axial Clearance]
on B15-84.

Since the axial load is constantly present in a given direction only because of vertical mount, there is
no need to study the axial clearance.
Studying the Axial Rigidity

Since the lead angle accuracy is achieved beyond the required positioning accuracy, there is no
need to study the positioning accuracy determined by axial rigidity.

Since the lead angle accuracy is achieved beyond the required positioning accuracy, there is no
need to study the positioning accuracy determined by the heat generation.

Since the lead angle accuracy is achieved at a much higher degree than the required positioning accuracy, there is no need to study the positioning accuracy.

Inertial Moment:
Since the inertial moment per unit length of the screw shaft is 3.9 10-4 kgcm2/mm (see the specification table), the inertial moment of the screw shaft with an overall length of 800mm is obtained as
follows.

T3 = (J + Jm) = (1.58 104 + 5 105) 942 = 0.2 Nm = 200 Nmm
Therefore, the required torque is specified as follows.
Tk1 = T1 + T3 = 900 + 200 = 1100 Nmm
Tt1 = T1 = 900 Nmm
Tg1 = T1 T3 = 900 200 = 700 Nmm

[Studying the Driving Motor]
Rotational Speed
Since the Ball Screw lead is selected based on the rated rotational speed of the motor, it is unnecessary to study the rotational speed of the motor.
Maximum working rotational speed : 1800 min1
Rated rotational speed of the motor: 3000 min1
Minimum Feed Amount

As with the rotational speed, the Ball Screw lead is selected based on the encoder normally used for
an AC servomotor. Therefore, it is unnecessary to study this factor.
Encoder resolution: 1000 p/rev.
Motor Torque
The torque during acceleration calculated in Section [Studying the Rotational Torque] on B1590 is the required maximum torque.
Tmax = Tk1 = 1100 Nmm
Therefore, the maximum peak torque of the AC servomotor needs to be at least 1100 N-mm.
Effective Torque Value

The selection requirements and the torque calculated in Section [Studying the Rotational Torque] on
B15-90 can be expressed as follows.
Tk1 = 1100 Nmm
t1 = 0.2 s
Tt1 = 900 Nmm
t2 = 1.8 s
Tg1 = 700 Nmm
t3 = 0.2 s
Tk2 = 630 Nmm
t1 = 0.2 s
Tt2 = 830 Nmm
t2 = 1.8 s

TS = 658 Nmm
t4 = 7.6 s
B15-92

Point of Selection
The effective torque is obtained as follows, and the rated torque of the motor must be 743 Nmm or
greater.

Inertial Moment
The inertial moment applied to the motor equals to the inertial moment calculated in Section [Studying
the Rotational Torque] on B15-90.
J = 1.58 104 kg m2
Normally, the motor needs to have an inertial moment at least one tenth of the inertial moment applied to the motor, although the specific value varies depending on the motor manufacturer.
Therefore, the inertial moment of the AC servomotor must be 1.58 105kg-m2 or greater.

Dust and foreign material that enter the Ball Screw may cause accelerated wear and breakage, as
with roller bearings. Therefore, where contamination by dust or foreign material (e.g., cutting chips)
is a possbility, screw shafts must always be completely covered by a contamination protection seal,
contamination protection accessories (e.g., bellows, screw cover, wiper ring), or similar measures.

Contamination Protection Seal for Ball Screws

If the Ball Screw is used in an atmosphere free from foreign material but with suspended dust, a
labyrinth seal (for precision Ball Screws) with symbol RR and a brush seal (for rolled Ball Screws)
with symbol ZZ can be used as contamination protection accessories.
The labyrinth seal is designed to maintain a slight clearance between the seal and the screw shaft
raceway so that torque does not develop and no heat is generated, though its effect in contamination protection is limited.
With Ball Screws except the large lead and super lead types, there is no difference in nut dimensions between those with and without a seal.

QZ Lubricator
For the supported models and the ball screw nut dimension with QZ attached, see A15-358 to A15-365.
QZ Lubricator feeds a right amount of lubricant to the raceway of the ball screw shaft. This allows
an oil film to be constantly formed between the balls and the raceway, improves lubricity and significantly extends the lubrication maintenance interval.
The structure of QZ Lubricator consists of three major components: (1) a heavily oil-impregnated
fiber net (stores the lubricant), (2) a high-density fiber net (applies the lubricant to the raceway) and (3)
an oil-control plate (adjusts the oil flow). The lubricant contained in the QZ Lubricator is fed by the
capillary phenomenon, which is used also in felt pens and many other products.

Installation onto the Table and the Base

(1) If using a bracket when mounting the ball screw nut to the table, insert the nut into the bracket
and temporarily fasten it.
(2) Temporarily fasten the fixed side Support Unit to the base.
In doing so, press the table toward the fixed side Support Unit to align the axial center, and adjust the table so that it can travel freely.
If using the fixed side Support Unit as the reference point, secure a clearance between the ball
screw nut and the table or inside the bracket when making adjustment.
If using the table as the reference point, make the adjustment either by using the shim (for a
square type Support Unit), or securing the clearance between the outer surface of the nut and
the inner surface of the mounting section (for a round type Support Unit).
(3) Press the table toward the fixed-side Support Unit to align the axial center. Make the adjustment
by reciprocating the table several times so that the nut travels smoothly throughout the whole
stroke, and temporarily secure the Support Unit to the base.

Amount of Lubricant
If the amount of the lubricant to the Ball Screw is insufficient, it may cause a lubrication breakdown,
and if it is excessive, it may generate heat and increase resistance. It is necessary to select an
amount that meets the conditions.

Precautions on Use
Ball Screw
[Handling]
(1) Do not disassemble the parts. This will cause dust to enter the product resulting in loss of functionality.
(2) Tilting the screw shaft and the ball screw nut may cause them to fall by their own weight.
(3) Take care not to drop or strike the ball screw. This could cause injury or product damage. Giving
an impact to it could also cause damage to its function even if the product looks intact.
(4) Do not remove the ball screw nut from the ball screw shaft. Doing so may cause the balls or the
nut to fall off.
(5) Prevent foreign material, such as dust or cutting chips, from entering the system. This could
cause damage to ball circulation components and loss of functionality.
(6) Some types of coolant may impair product functionality. When planning to use the product in an
environment where the coolant penetrates the Ball Screw Nut, it may cause trouble to product
functions depending on the type of the coolant. Contact THK for details.
(7) Do not use the product at temperature of 80 or higher. Contact THK if you desire to use the
product at a temperature of 80 or higher.
(8) If the foreign materials such as dust or cutting chips adheres to the product, replenish the lubricant after cleaning the product with pure white kerosene. For available types of detergent, contact THK.
(9) When using this product with a vertical orientation, take preventive measures such as adding a
safety mechanism to prevent falls. The dead weight of the ball screw nut may cause it to fall.
(10)Do not use this product beyond its permissible rotational speed. Doing so may cause accidents
or component damage. Be sure to use the product within the specification range designated by
THK.
(11)Do not use undue force when fitting parts to the ball screw shaft and ball screw nut. Take particular care when installing parts as this may result in indentations in the raceway.
(12)If an offset or skewing occurs with the ball screw shaft support and the ball screw nut, it may
substantially shorten the service life. Pay much attention to components to be mounted and to
the mounting accuracy.
(13)In locations exposed to constant vibrations or in special environments such as clean rooms,
vacuum and low/high temperatures, it may not be possible to use standard products. Contact
THK for details.
(14)Do not cause the ball screw nut to overrun. This will lead to problems such as ball displacement
or damage to ball circulation components.
[Lubrication]
(1) Thoroughly remove anti-rust oil and feed lubricant before using the product.
(2) Do not mix lubricants of different physical properties.
(3) In locations exposed to constant vibrations or in special environments such as clean rooms, a
vacuum and a low/high temperature, normal lubricants may not be used. Contact THK for details.
(4) The use of special lubricants can lead to product damage. Contact THK before using such
products.
(5) The lubrication interval varies according to the conditions. Contact THK for details.
