Analysis Of The Reasons Leading To The Failure Of The Ball Screw

Sep 29, 2021

The following describes the main causes of three ball screw problems and their prevention methods.

1. No preload or insufficient preload

When the ball screw is placed vertically, the nut will rotate and slide due to its own weight: the screw without preload will have a certain gap, so it can only be used for machines with lower operating resistance, but as long as the concern is There is no requirement for positioning accuracy.

Our company uses different preloads for different applications, and adjusts the preload before shipment; therefore, when you order a ball screw, please inform us in detail about the operation of the equipment.

2. The torsional displacement is too large

(1) Steel balls, nuts, screw shafts with improper heat treatment, too thin hardened layer, uneven hardness distribution, or too soft material. The standard hardnesses are: hrc62~66, hrc58~62, hrc56~62.

(2) Improper design-the smaller the slenderness ratio, the higher the rigidity, and the limit of the slenderness ratio must be below 80. If the slenderness ratio is too large, the screw shaft will be due to its own weight. Produce sagging.

3. Improper selection of support bearings

Generally, ball screws must be matched with angular bearings, especially bearings with high pressure angle design as the best choice: when the ball screw bears axial load, the general deep groove bearing will produce a certain amount of axial clearance Therefore, deep groove bearings are not suitable for use.

Dongguan Yinhang Electromechanical Equipment Co., Ltd. has been committed to the production and sales of mechanical transmission parts for many years. The products produced and sold include ball screws, linear guides, ball splines, linear modules, screw support seats and other transmission components.
