The Ball Screw Raceway Is Damaged, Can It Be Repaired?

Oct 30, 2022


Industrial production needs to use a variety of mechanical equipment, so how to convert rotary motion and linear motion to each other? In fact, this is achieved by the transmission element of the ball screw, among which the ball screw raceway If it is damaged, can it continue to be used? How to repair it to use? The following three steps to understand and learn.


Ball screw rod


1. The raceway has slight local wear. Scratched areas can be partially trimmed and smoothed using a diamond file or whetstone.


2. There is a slight abrasion in the raceway. Place the ball screw between the two heads of the thread grinder and align the finish. It is necessary to strictly control the number of grinding, and it should not be too large, so that the screw pair after grinding cannot be replaced by the nut, and its performance and accuracy can be restored by adjusting the gap or replacing the slightly larger ball.


3. The raceway has serious scratches. Grind with the same ball screw method as above on the thread grinder. Determine the amount of grinding according to the degree of wear and tear, and fine-grind according to the size of steel balls of similar diameter series. After replacing the "R" value with the "R" value, replace the "Roller" value with the "R" value, replace the "Roller" value with the "R" value, and reconfigure the nut. This repaired lead screw should be in good condition.


If you really encounter damage to the ball screw raceway during use, you can try to repair it through the three steps and methods above. As long as it is correct, it can be repaired and continue to use.
