Introduction to ball splines

The ball spline is a bearing that can provide smooth and unrestricted linear motion. The ball spline is made up of steel balls in the inner cavity of the spline mother (sleeve) that roll back and forth on the groove of the spline shaft to achieve linear motion. Precision orientable linear transmission components.

 

Ball splines are transmission parts commonly used in ZR axis motion on high-precision precision instruments. Its main function is to synchronize precise positioning rotation with linear motion. It is a light-load linear transmission component with high precision, high speed and low friction. , small finished product size, widely used in various high-inspiration automatic equipment and devices with high reliability requirements, such as semiconductor packaging, mounting equipment, medical equipment, etc.

 

 

Ball spline construction

Ball splines use balls installed in the spline sleeve (female) to circulate in precision-ground grooves on the spline shaft, while performing smooth linear rolling and transmitting torque. Ball splines and spline shafts are designed and processed with different numbers of grooves and different angles as contact points.

 

The spline mother is composed of six parts: the main bearing steel cavity, balls, plastic turning channels, dust covers, key pins, and screws. The cavity is made into different numbers of ball paths depending on the size, usually 2 or 4 rows. , 6 columns, the more the number, the better the accuracy.

 

Spline shaft: It is a high straightness optical axis that processes different mathematical grooves according to the corresponding number of spline mother steel ball rows. The higher the straightness and roundness, the higher the accuracy.

 

Different processing as above can achieve different torques and precisions. In addition to being highly sensitive, it also greatly increases the load capacity. It is suitable for environments that require high positioning accuracy and high-speed motion performance. In such environments where vibration and impact loads are too large It can also play an effective role. At the same time, when used to replace linear ball bushings, the rated load of ball splines is more than ten times that of linear bushings when the shaft diameter is the same, so the design can become very compact. It is safe to use and has high durability even under cantilever loads, moments, etc.

 

Ball spline classification

  1. Shape classification: straight ball spline, flange ball spline, slider type ball spline

 

  1. Integrated distinction: integrated ball spline, rotating nut ball spline

 

  1. Shaft diameter distinction: micro ball splines (light load and torque), large shaft diameter ball splines (medium and high load and torque)

 

  1. Stroke distinction: unlimited stroke ball spline, limited stroke ball spline

How to install built-in double-axis linear guide rail?

/in /by

Linear guide rails are essential components of many machines and systems, as they provide a smooth and precise movement for components such as tools, spindles, and slides. The installation of built-in double-axis linear guide rails requires careful planning and attention to detail, as any errors or misalignments can lead to reduced accuracy and performance.
The first step in installing a built-in double-axis linear guide rail is to choose the right rail and carriage assembly for your application. Factors such as load capacity, speed, and precision requirements will influence your choice of rail, as will the size and weight of the components being moved. It is essential to select a rail that is compatible with your existing equipment and that meets your specific performance requirements.

Once you have selected the appropriate rail and carriage assembly, you will need to prepare the mounting surface. The surface must be flat, level, and free of any debris or contaminants that could interfere with the installation or operation of the guide rail. It is also important to ensure that the mounting surface is strong enough to support the weight of the rail and any components that will be mounted on it.

Next, you will need to determine the placement of the guide rail and mark the mounting holes. This is a critical step, as the accuracy of the mounting holes will directly affect the alignment and performance of the guide rail. It is important to use precise measuring tools and techniques to ensure that the mounting holes are located in the correct positions.
Once the mounting holes have been marked, you can drill the holes and install the guide rail. It is important to use the correct size and type of screws or bolts to secure the rail to the mounting surface. It is also important to tighten the screws or bolts evenly and to the recommended torque specifications to ensure that the rail is securely and properly mounted.

After the guide rail has been installed, you will need to mount the carriage assembly. This is typically done by sliding the carriage onto the rail and securing it in place with screws or bolts. It is important to ensure that the carriage is properly aligned with the rail and that it moves smoothly and without any binding or interference.

Once the carriage assembly has been mounted, you can test the performance of the guide rail. This can be done by moving the carriage along the rail and checking for any misalignments or binding. If any issues are detected, it may be necessary to adjust the mounting or alignment of the rail and carriage assembly.

What is the difference between screw pitch and lead?

/in /by

Lead-vs-pitch_Animate

Pitch

Pitch is the distance between screw threads and is commonly used with inch sized products and specified as threads per inch.

Lead

Lead is the linear travel the nut makes per one screw revolution and is how ball screws are typically specified.

For a single start thread, lead is equal to the pitch.  For multiple start screws the lead is the pitch multiplied by the number of starts.

rolled and ground ballscrewsrolled and ground ballscrews

What are the differences between rolled and ground ballscrews?

/in /by

The difference between cold rolling screw (rolled screw) and grinding screw is as follows:
1. Different processing methods:
Cold-rolled ball screw is to cut grooves with a certain depth in polished rod material at first, and the groove spacing is equal to the wire spacing you want to process, and then roll them out with a rolling mill. On the basis of press rolling, the grinding screw uses a special cylindrical grinder to precisely process the arc groove with the same shape and size, and the cut groove is at the bottom of the arc groove.

Rolled ball screw is preferred over cutting (turning on a lathe) for lead screws. It involves pressing a round bar between a set of dies that roll the threads into it. It results in a harder surface with superior surface finish for lead screws. Rolled ball screw is also the most common process for ballscrews because it is more economical and sufficiently accurate for most industrial applications. Lead accuracy can be held to better than .003 inch/foot and longer lengths are possible than with ground ballscrews.

If higher accuracy is required, grinding should be considered. The grinding process can hold lead accuracy’s as tight as .0003 inch/foot or better. However, this process is much more expensive and the maximum length of screw is much shorter.

2. Different scope of application and cost:
The precision grade of rolling screw is below the average, which is suitable for ordinary equipment with low precision requirements. It has a short life, high efficiency and low cost. The precision grade of grinding screw is above average, which is suitable for CNC machine tools and other equipment with high precision requirements. It has high precision, long life and high efficiency, but the cost is also high.
3. Different appearance:
The cold-rolled screw rod is formed by extrusion, and the grinding grade is processed by grinding. Turning is not the same as grinding process, and naturally there are process marks after it comes out. Generally, the surface of cold-rolled screw rod is smooth and shiny, and the light reflection rate is high and dazzling. Grinding marks of grinding wheel can be seen carefully on the surface of grinding screw. In terms of appearance, the raceway groove of the turning grade screw rod is smooth, which is shallower than that of the grinding screw rod.

ball screws ball nutsball screws ball nuts

What may cause premature failure of ball screws or ball nuts?

/in /by

In the working operation, the ball screw will always produce some friction. Under the appearance of these friction forces, the ball screw will wear to a certain extent. When the ball screw is used for a certain time, the ball screw will be damaged. This is the process of ball screw damage, but besides, there are other reasons that will cause ball screw damage, such as unreasonable use of staff. What are the reasons for ball screw damage?

1. The clearance of the ball screw guide rail is not appropriate.

When we install the ball screw, if the installation is not in place, the ball screw clearance may be too large. If this happens, when the ball screw is working, it will be easy to have a big impact. Under the influence of this situation, the wear speed of the ball screw will be greatly accelerated. If we want to solve this problem, we need to disassemble the ball screw and install it correctly.

2. Causes of lubrication

Before the ball screw is used, we need to lubricate it. At this time, some inexperienced novice employees may not be able to grasp the usage of lubricating oil. If the lubricating oil used by the novice ball screw is not enough, in this case, the ball screw will generate more friction when it is used, which will also have adverse effects on the ball screw. Therefore, at this time, the novice should add more lubricating oil to the ball screw for lubrication.

3.Excessive speed

Exceeding the ball nut critical speed can lead to pickup fingers breaking, which will allow to the ball bearings to come out of the nut. Exceeding the screw critical speed will cause the screw to whip or vibrate and cause misalignment. Shaft speeds resulting in screw surface speeds above 8,000 inches per minute will reduce rated life.

22 How to choose the linear module sliding tableHow to choose the linear module sliding table

linear module sliding table

/in /by

The linear module sliding table is an important auxiliary equipment that many automation equipments need to use. The common automation equipments used in linear modules are: printing press, soldering machine, mechanical arm, etc.

So, what aspects should we pay attention to when purchasing the linear module sliding table?

The following three points should be noted:

1. Load

Linear modules usually need a certain amount of load, that is, how much weight the modules need to load. At present, many linear module manufacturers can offer products with various loads, and the factory must choose the linear module according to the actual load weight in the production process, otherwise, the load of the linear module will be insufficient, which will lead to problems in the product assembly line.

2. Stroke accuracy

Linear module manufacturers with abundant supply will provide many linear modules with different effective stroke specifications. Effective stroke refers to how long the interval demand of linear modules moves from one end to the other, which is also related to the basic requirement of which products the factory can use linear modules. The movement accuracy also needs the factory to choose according to the products, so the effective stroke movement accuracy is the factor that determines the linear module specifications when selecting the products of linear module manufacturers.

3. Configuration

The selection of linear modules should also proceed from the configuration point of view, such as the brand specifications of screw rods, guide rails, timing belts, switches, etc. The products of linear module manufacturers also have certain differences in configuration. When selecting, the configuration of linear modules should be determined according to the requirements of precision and other aspects when producing products.
