Ball Screws – Technical Data
Manufacturing process Temperatures

Thomson recirculating ball screws are manufactured in rolled, All ball screws are designed for ambient temperatures between
ground and whirled versions. Both shaft and nut have a gothic arc -30°C and 80°C, and temperatures up to 110°C are also permitted for
profile. The load angle is 45°. intermittent operations. Ball screws are only conditionally suited for
temperatures below freezing.
Speeds
The permissible speed limit is currently 3000 rpm, and up to 4500 Repetition accuracy
rpm for spot measurements. This speed limit identifies the maximum Repetition accuracy refers to the capability of a ball screw to return
speed that may only be used under optimum operating conditions. to the set position it had previously traveled to under the same
conditions. It corresponds to the mean position scatter range as
defined in VDI/DGQ 3441. Repetition accuracy is influenced by
Mounting position factors, including:
The mounting position of a ball screw may be selected freely. The
only factor to be taken into consideration is that all radial forces • Load
generated must be absorbed by external guides. • Speed
• Deceleration
• Direction of movement
Precision • Temperature
Rolled Thomson ball screw shafts are available in tolerance classes
P3, P5, T5 and T7.
Ground/whirled Thomson Neff recirculating ball screws are
available in tolerance classes up to P0.
Self-locking
Thanks to their low rolling friction, recirculating ball screws are not
self-locking. Therefore, it is necessary to fit suitable motors with a
holding brake, especially if the ball screw is mounted vertically.

Rolled Ball Screws
Thread rolling manufacturing Thomson rolled shafts set the standard in quality:
Rolled ball screw shafts are manufactured by cold forming without • Low surface roughness due to non-cutting rolling process and
chip removal. In this procedure, the bar stock is given a ball track in finishing polishing
a continuous process. This means that it is, in principle, possible to
create leads of any amount and to form any number of threads on • Long service lives due to optimized profiles and the maximum

The forming process ensures high strength and a good surface
finish for the ball screw shafts. • Great quality and stable running due to patented ball circulation
systems
Rolled ball screw shafts and the associated standard nuts can be
supplied directly from stock at favorable prices. • Decades of experience in the manufacture of rolled and ground
ball screws

Ball Nuts – Return Systems
Thomson offers a wide breadth of ball nut configurations to seamlessly 2

interface to the application. Most ball nuts have profiled wiper rings to
reduce the escape of lubricant and prevent the ingress of dirt.
Ball Nut Mounting Alternatives

Thomson offers flanged ball nuts that are attached via a set of mounting
holes or cylindrical nuts that have a keyway or external thread. Custom
interfaces such as trunnions and nut housings are also available.
Ball Recirculation Systems

Thomson manufactures ball nuts with three different ball recirculation
systems depending on the diameter and lead of the ball screw shaft in
use.
1
Channel Return (K)
After several turns, the balls are returned either by a patented plastic
recirculation system integrated into the nut or through channels also
integrated into the nut using steel inserts.
Single Return (E) and Multi Liner (M)

After each turn, the balls are lifted from the shaft raceway and
set back by a single turn. Our return systems are made from
glass-fiber reinforced plastic or steel to guarantee precise,
gentle recirculation of the balls.
End-Cap Return (D)

The balls are recirculated via two special end caps and return
channels integrated into the nut.
Preloading
If the ball nut unit is preloaded on the ball screw, the following
results can be achieved:
• Increased positioning accuracy

• Increased stiffness in the nut area
• Reduced width of backlash
Preloading with 2-point ball contact:

Standard preloading force: 10% of dynamic rated load
Designs:
• VDM preloaded double nut
• VEM-2 and FL preloaded single nut with internal thread shift
• VEM-2 preloaded single nut with internal thread shift between
individual threads (only where there is more than one thread)
Preloading with 4-point ball contact:

Standard preloading force: 4% of dynamic rated load
Design:
Preloaded single nut with oversized ball bearings VEM-4
Note:
• Allows shorter nut lengths to be used
• Not suitable for all applications due to increased levels of sliding
friction, but provides a cost-effective solution in certain cases 1

M
Note:
In the case of lead precisions poorer than P5 and shaft leads <
diameter d0, the unit can only be set to low backlash. The overall
length of the nuts can be increased by up to 10 mm as a
consequence of the preloading system used.
Single nuts may also be supplied assembled backlash-free on

request. Please contact customer support.

Whirled And Ground Ball Screws
Manufacturing methods
• Whirled (standard)
Whirled ball screw shafts are produced using cutting plates in special materials. In this process, the raceway is cut into the previously
hardened raw
material in a single pass, or multiple passes for large balls.
• Ground
Depending on the ball size, the raceway of ground ball screw shafts is either ground directly into the solid blank, or the blank is first
whirled and then
ground.
Tolerance classes
• Whirled (standard)
Whirled ball screw shafts are currently available in classes P3, P4 and P5 and also T5 and T7.

Precision Screws
Whirled Ball Screws
Thomson whirled shafts are setting new standards:

• Higher or at least identical surface quality of the raceway compared to ground ball screws
• Better running in behavior, i.e. the ball nut's preloading is maintained longer
• Greater profile accuracy due to geometrically defined cutting of the cutting plates
• Greater service life due to the points listed above

SFM Safety Nut
The safety nut is an optional part to a flanged ballscrew. The safety nut basically
works just like a normal ballscrew nut. If the axial play increases due to wear, ball
breakage or ball loss, the thread of the safety unit comes into contact with the
ballscrew. This means the nut cannot be penetrated. The normal function of the
unit is guaranteed up to an axial play of 0.5 mm. Thomson also offers complete
units with integrated safety nuts. Please ask your Thomson representive.

Efficiency and torques

Efficiency is affected by many operating influences as well as geometric data.
This means that practical values may fluctuate in relation to the calculated values by ± 5%.
Theoretical efficiency (h) The theoretical efficiency (h’) when

when converting torque converting an axial force into a torque
into axial force is calculated is calculated as follows:
as follows:
tan j Ph0 tan (j - r”) Ph0

h= where tan j = h’ = where tan j =
tan (j + r”) d0 . p tan j d0 . p
The theoretical level of efficiency is reduced by around 5% to make

allowances for operating influences such as speed, temperature and Friction angle r” (rhò)
lubrication. If the ratio of load F to dynamic rated load Cam is less than
0.5, a further reduction is made based on the load factor fl (see table r” = 0.23° At tolerance class P and T1 – T3
below).
r” = 0.34° At tolerance class T5

The resulting efficiency only applies to the ball screw. The figure
assumes the ball screw is lubricated but has no wiper or shaft bearing. Ph0

heat generation during operation and idling torque. Grease can also be used to lubricate ball screws. This approach allows longer
intervals between each lubrication.
In principle, the types of oil and grease used for rolling bearings are suitable
for this purpose. Unless the customer has specified otherwise, the function Given that a small amount of grease escapes from the nut and remains on the

limits the length of time the ball screw can be used without being regreased. The
expected service life L10 can only be achieved if the grease lost is replaced by
Oil lubrication means of a centralized lubrication system or a lubrication schedule tailored to
the application in question.
Generally speaking, CL oils are used in this context for increasing corrosion
protection and durability. Alloyed CLP oils with EP additives can also be used. Manual regreasing can achieve an average of around 700 extra service hours.
The appropriate level of viscosity depends on the circumferential speed (in other This figure can vary considerably, however, depending on the machine design

The amount of oil required per ball revolution lies somewhere between 0.3 and

Critical speed of trapezoidal thread screws

There is a risk of resonance bending vibration in slender rotating
components such as shafts. The method described below permits
the estimation of the resonant frequency on the assumption of an
adequately rigid installation. Speeds close to the critical speed
further increase the risk of lateral buckling. The critical speed
must, therefore, also be viewed in conjunction with the critical
buckling force.

Input torque and input power required

The input torque required for a trapezoidal screw is a result of the
acting axial load, the thread pitch and the efficiency of the lead
screw and its bearings. The acceleration torque must be checked
if acceleration times are short and speeds are high.
As a matter of principle, it must be noted that a breakaway torque
must be overcome when a trapezoidal thread lead screw starts to
move.

Torque as a consequence of an axial load

Trapezoidal lead screws, the pitch angle α of which is greater than
the friction angle ρ’ are considered non-self locking. This means
that an axial force applied generates a resulting torque on the
shaft. The efficiency η’ for the conversion of an axial motion into a
rotary motion is less than that for the conversion of a rotary motion
into an axial motion.

Installation & Maintenance
TGT trapezoidal thread screws

Installation
Trapezoidal thread screws must be carefully aligned on installation – if the
appropriate measuring equipment is not available, the lead screw shall be
moved once by hand over the entire length before the input unit is fitted.
Uneven force requirements and/or running traces on the external diameter of
the shaft here indicate errors in the alignment between shaft axis and guide.
In this case, first slacken off the relevant mounting screws and then operate
the lead screw once again by hand. If the force requirement is now uniform,
the corresponding elements must be aligned, otherwise the alignment error
must be determined by slackening further mounting screws.
Caps
Trapezoidal thread screws are inherently less sensitive to contamination than
recirculating ball screws, especially at low speeds (e.g. manual operation).
Motion drives, in particular those using plastic nuts, however, also require
protective measures similar to those for recirculating ball screws.
Lubrication
Oil lubrication
Is only used on trapezoidal thread screws in special cases.
Grease lubrication
This is the usual lubrication for trapezoidal thread screws. The lubrication
intervals depend on the operating conditions; it is recommended that the
shaft is cleaned before being greased, especially if high performance lubri-
cating systems are being used.
Grease grades: roller bearing greases without a solid lubricant constituent.
Operating temperature
Depends on the nature of the nut used, the lubricating conditions and the
requirements made. Please consult us for operation at temperatures in
excess of 100°C (in excess of 70°C for plastic nuts).
Wear
May be tested by hand; the nut must be replaced if the axial play of a single
thread lead screw is greater than 1/4 of the lead.

Lead Screws
Smooth and cost-effective solution for precision applications

Thomson precision lead screws are an outstanding and economical solution for your linear motion requirements. Thomson
has been active for more than 40 years developing and producing the highest quality lead screws in this industrial sector. Our
precision rolling process guarantees positioning to 0.075 mm/300 mm, and our coating method using PTFE creates systems with a
lower drag torque and a higher service life.
Thomson has a wide range of standard plastic nut systems available, in the form of anti-backlash or standard Supernuts®.
A composite material of acetal and PTFE is used in all these standard plastic nut systems, offering an outstanding lubricant
capability with or without supplementary lubrication, at the same time achieving a low rate of wear. As a result of our unique
patented backlash-free method design, Thomson is able to offer systems with high axial stiffness, zero backlash and a low drag
torque, reducing the demands on the motor. This creates more cost-effective products with a higher performance and longer
service life. The two designs automatically adapt to the wear conditions, so that zero backlash is guaranteed for the life of the
nut.
Thomson also offers a design service for your application requirements. This means that lead screws can be manufactured to
meet your exact specifications. Get in touch with Thomson today and discuss your application with our experienced product
specialists.
Product considerations
Reducing backlash is of utmost importance in ensuring
precise positioning. Several types of preload variants,
which all use a resilient preload are available on
the market. As these mechanisms are only limited in
their stiffness, a high preload is necessary to retain
the position. This leads to a high drag torque, shorter
service life and reduced performance. The costs for
the system increase, and a larger motor is required.
The Thomson solution

With the patented XC series of nuts with ActiveCAM,
optimum axial stiffness with minimum drag torque at
the same time is achieved. The use of a an extremely
stiff stainless steel sleeve for the preload leads to an
incomparable axial stiffness. The axial backlash is
rectified without high preloading so the lowest possible
drag torque is achieved.
Readjusting the preloading following wear

The wear occurring over time is automatically
compensated for by the unique ActiveCAM mechanism,
without sacrificing stiffness and positioning accuracy, or
influencing the drag torque. US Patent #5839321 and one
or more foreign equivalents.

Graph Of Critical Rotational Speed Limit Values
Every lead screw has a rotational speed limit. This is the point at which the rotational speed sets up heavy vibration. This critical
point changes depending on the end bearing supports used and the bearing combination.
To use this chart, you must determine the speed of rotation required and the maximum length between the bearing supports.
Then select one of the four bearing combinations shown below. The critical speed limit can be found by locating the point at
which the speed of rotation (horizontal lines) intersects with the unsupported shaft length (vertical lines) as modified by the
bearing combination listed below. It is recommended that the lead screws be operated at no more than 80% of the critical speed
limit value.
Warning: The graphs for the shaft diameters illustrated are based on the smallest minor diameter of a standard shaft within the nominal size range and are cut
off at the maximum speed of rotation for the nut. This value for the rotational speed MAY NOT BE EXCEEDED, whatever the shaft length.

Graph Of Critical Buckling Force
This graph is used to determine the maximum compression loading on the shafts. Normally, shafts operated under tensile stress are
capable of withstanding a loading up to the design load capacity of the nut. The bearing combinations influence the load capacity of the
shaft. The four standard variants are listed below with the corresponding bearing scenarios. To determine the safe minimum diameter of
the shaft, you must determine the point at which the graphs for the compressive load (horizontal) and the shaft length (vertical) intersect.
Consult the manufacturer if the loading values lie in the area of the dotted lines.
Warning: The load capacity of the nuts MAY NOT BE EXCEEDED. The curves for the shaft diameter are based on the smallest minor diameter of a standard shaft
within the nominal size range.

Thomson designs lead screws for optimum performance. To ensure correct operation, it is recommended that our nuts and shafts
are used only with the appropriate matching Thomson products. This is of particular importance in the case of our own thread
dimensions. Select a shaft size complying with DIN from page 151 if interchangeability is a requirements criterion.
The use of a lubricant is recommended for the operation of a lead screw with a plastic nut. This increases the service life of the
unit and the permissible operating load.
Note: The load indications in the catalog are based on the use of a lubricant.

PTFE Dry Lubricant

Developed for trapezoidal lead screw applications with plastic on metal
A PTFE coating comprises a dry coating, forming a lubricating and
barrier layer between the metal substrate and the polymer nut or
ball nut. This means that the application of an additional lubricant
that must be renewed is unnecessary in many cases.
The coating is very well suited to our XC (SuperNut®) series,
comprising plastic nuts and stainless steel lead screws. Service
intervals for lubrication are no longer necessary, and the coating
does not attract particles of dirt as a lubricant does. Although
lower coefficients of friction are possible with a lubricant than
with a dry lubricant, lubrication must be maintained to avoid
a drop in performance. Coating with PTFE is an attractive and
cleaner* alternative to greases and oils.
