INTRODUCTION
PMI was established in 1990.

It has been concentrated in manufacturing of Ballscrew since then.
It is PMI's important achievement as to produce high speed Ballscrews with

specially designed ball recirculating tube to ensure balls smooth running during
recirculation, hence to reduce noise. Also the special hollow cooling system to
help Ballscrews to be easily controlled in temperature raise at low cost.
In 2003, PMI established its subdivision company- Advanced Motion

Technologies, Corp. (AMT) and started to produce the Linear Guideways.
The superior techniques, good quality and high production efficiency have made
PMI one of the leading Linear motion system manufacturers in the world.

FEATURES of BALLSCREWS
(1) High reliability:
PMI has accumulated many years experience in production managing. It covers the whole
production sequence, from receiving the order, designing, material preparation, machining, heat
treating, grinding, assembling, inspection, packaging and delivery. The systemized managing ensures
high reliability of PMI Ballscrews.
(2) High accuracy:

PMI Ballscrews are machined, ground, assembled and Q.C. inspected under the constant
temperature control (20 ) to ensure high precision of Ballscrews. Fig.2.1 accuracy inspection

(3) Long durability:

PMI Ballscrews are made of German Alloy steels, which are well quenching and tempering treated
for good rigidity, along with suitable surface hardening to ensure long durability.

(4) High working efficiency:
Balls are rotating inside the Ballscrew nut to offer high working efficiency. Comparing with the
traditional ACME screws, which work by friction sliding between the nut and screw, the Ballscrews
needs only 1/3 of driving torque. It is easy to transmit linear motion into rotation motion.
(5) No backlash and with high rigidity:

The Gothic profile is applied by PMI Ballscrews. It offers best contact between balls and the
grooves. If suitable preload is exerted on Ballscrew hence to eliminate clearance between the ball nut
and screw and to reduce elastic deformation, the ballscrew shall get much better rigidity and accuracy.

When Ballscrew takes only axial load, the best performance of it shall be found; the balls on the groove
in between the Ballnut and screw shaft shall evenly take the load and rotate smoothly. In case there is
torsional load or radial load on Ballnut, this kind load shall be taken unevenly by some balls only. It shall
badly affect Ballscrew performance and even shorten ballscrew life. It is recommended to pay more
attention to the mechanism design and Ballscrew assembly.

RIGIDITY

"Lost Motion" shall happen due to weakness of rigidity of screw shaft and mating components of it. In
order to get good positioning accuracy, it is necessary to consider axial and torsional rigidity of screw
shaft and mating components of it.

6.1.2 Torsional rigidity of the feed-screw system
The factors of positions error caused by twisting are:
1. Torsional deformation of screw shaft.

2. Torsional deformation of coupling.
3. Torsional deformation of motor.
But above deformations are too small in general machine (non-high speed machine),
they are then ignored.
16
6.1.3 Ball Screw's preload and effect
In order to get high positioning accuracy, there are two ways to reach it. One is commonly known as to
clear axial play to zero. The other one is to increase Ballscrew rigidity to reduce elastic deformation while
taking axial load. Both two ways are done by preloading.

Then there is a external axial force Fa applied to

Nut A as shown on Fig 6.6. The deformation of Nut A

6.2 Positioning Accuracy
6.2.1 Causes of error in positioning accuracy
Lead error and rigidity of feed system are common causes of feed accuracy error. Other causes like
thermal deformation and feed system assembly are also playing important roles in feed accuracy.
6.2.2 Selecting the lead accuracy

Refer to page 5, the Specified travel line should coincide with the nominal travel line. However, in order
to compensate either the elongation caused by the thermal expansion during machine operating or the
shortening of length due to external load, the specified travel may be set to be positive or negative to the
Nominal travel. Machine designer can show the value of Specified travel on the drawing for our
manufacturing, or, we can help to decide it based on our more than ten years experience.
There is another way to compensate thermal effect by "pretension" to Ballscrew. Generally, the
pretension force shall elongate the Ballscrew to be equivalent to the thermal expansion at about 2-3 .

LIFE
7.1 Life of the Ballscrew

Even though the Ballscrew has been used with correct manner, it shall naturally be worn out and can
no longer be used for a specified period. Its life is defined by the period from starting use to ending use
caused by nature fail.
a. Fatigue life - Time period for surface flaking off happened either on balls or on thread grooves.
b. Accuracy life - Time period for serious loosing of accuracy caused by wearing happened on thread
groove surface, hence to make Ballscrew can no longer be used.
7.2 Fatigue Life

The basic dynamic rate load (Ca) of the Ballscrew is used to calculate its fatigue life
when it is operated under a load.
7.2.1 Basic dynamic rate load Ca

The basic dynamic rate load (Ca) is the revolution of 106 that 90% of identical
Ballscrew units in a group, when operated independently of one another under
the same conditions, can achieve without developing flaking.
7.2.2 Fatigue life

(1) Calculating life:
There are three ways to show fatigue life: Table7.1 Load factor f w

(2) Mean load:
When axial load changed constantly. It is required to calculate the mean axial load (Fm) and the mean
rotational speed (Nm) for fatigue life. Setting axial load (Fa) as Y-axis; rotational number (n.t) as X-axis.
Getting three kind curves or lines:
a. Gradational variation curve (Fig.7.1)

7.2.3 Affection of installation errors
When twist load or radial load is applied to Ballscrew, there shall be bad effect on ballscrew operation and
its life, It is required to make the feed system (Ballscrew, support bearings, Guideways) to be more rigid.
Hence to reduce. installation errors.
Ballscrews must be meticulously installed onto the Yoke (bracket) of machine to achieve precise pallelism
and squareness along moving direction of moving parts. It is very important to ensure minimum backlash
happens.
7.3 Permissible Load on Thread Grooves
Even though the Ballscrew is seldom operated and is operated under low velocity, it is required to make
the maximum load to be far smaller than its rated basic static load when making selection.
7.3.1 Basic static rate load Co

The basic static rate load is the static load with a non-varying direction and magnitude that makes the
sum of the permanent deformation of the rolling elements and raceway 0.0001 times the rolling element
diameter. With the Ball Screw, the basic static rate load is defined in relation to the axial load.

7.7 Dustproof
Same as the rolling bearings, if there is the particles such as chips or water get into the ballscrew, the
wearing problem shall be deteriorated. In some serious cases, ballscrew shall then be damaged. In order to
prevent these problems from happening, there are wipers assembled at both ends of ball nut to scrape chips
and dust. There is also the "O-Ring" at the wipers to seal the lubrication oil from leaking from ball nut.

BALLSCREW with HOLLOW COOLING SYSTEM
PMI's design of hollow cooling system is especially good for high speed Ballscrews. It shall well dissipate
heat generated by friction between balls and grooves during Ballscrew running, and then to minimize thermal
deformation as to ensure positioning accuracy.
12.1 Introduction to Hollow Cooling System

The hollow cooling system is designed by PMI. (Fig.12.1) It uses a coolant pipe through the hollow
hole of Ballscrew. The hollow hole is through all of the Ballscrew, and one end is clogged with the oil seal
by PMI patent. The coolant is pumped into coolant pipe and flow to the end of coolant pipe. Coolant then
flow reversely along the hollow hole back into the coolant collector. It can cool down the Ballscrew. The
coolant is then sucked back to the cooling unit to drop coolant temperature and pumped again to the
coolant pipe to complete circulation.

13.1 External Ball Circulation Nuts
Features:
Lower noise due to longer ball circulation paths.

Offers smoother ball running.
Offers better solution and quality for long lead or large diameter ballscrews.
Type:
There are two types of Ballnut of the external circulation Ball Screws. They are
"immersion type" of Fig.13.1. and "extrusive type" of Fig. 13.2. The "immersion
type" means the ball circulation tubes are inside the circular surface of Ballnut as
shown on specifications of this catalogue are of "immersion type".
In some cases, as per designs on customer's drawings, there are smaller

outer diameters ballnuts required. Then the ball circulation tubes shall extrude out
of Ballnut circular surface.

13.2 Internal Ball Circulation Nuts
Features:
The advantage of internal ball circulation nut is that the outer diameter is smaller than
that of external ball circulation nut. Hence it is suitable for the machine with limit space
for Ballscrew installation.
It is strictly required that there is at least one end of screw shaft with complete
threads. Also the rest area next to this complete thread must be with smaller diameter
than the nominal diameter of the screw shaft. Above are required for easy assembling
the ballnut onto the screw shaft.

13.3 High Lead Ballscrews
High-lead Ball Screws are essential elements and parts for high-speed machine tools of next century.
Features:
It is important for a High-lead Ballscrew to be with characteristics of high rigidity, low noise and thermal
control. PMI's designs and treatments are taken for following:
High DN Value
The DN value can be 130,000 in normal case. For some special cases, for example in a fixed ends case, the
DN value can be as high as 140,000. Please contact our engineers for this special application.
High Speed
PMI's High-speed Ballscrews provide 100 m/min and even higher traverse speed for machine tools for
high performance cutting.
High Rigidity
Both the screw and ballnut are surface hardened to a specific hardness and case depth to maintain high
rigidity and durability.
Multiple thread starts are available to make more steel balls loaded in the ballnut for higher rigidity and
durability.
Low Noise
Special design of ball circulation tubes (patent pending) offer smooth ball circulation inside the ballnut. It also
makes safe ball fast running into the tubes without damaging the tubes.
Accurate ball circle diameter (BCD) through whole threads for consistent drag torque and low noise.

Rolled BallScrews
Features:
1. Lower cost:
Since the manufacturing process for a rolled screw is less than that of a
ground one. Hence the cost for rolled screw is lower.
2. Faster delivery:
There are standard ballnuts and screw shafts in stock. The delivery
for rolled Ballscrews are made faster than the ground ones.
Lead accuracy:
PMI rolled Ballscrews are rolled by using German CNC rolling machine. It
can well control the straightness; circleness and of Ballscrews. The lead
accuracy of PMI rolled Ballscrews can be as good as 0.018 mm/300 mm.
