1. Classification Ball screw support units are classified into categories by their shape (Table 1). Select the type that best suits your particular needs.

B375

B375-386.indd 375-376

2. Features ABearings and seals On the fixed support side, the angular contact ball bearing is used. It has great rigidity and low friction torque, which match the rigidity of the ball screw. The thrust angular contact ball bearing with high precision and great rigidity is another choice for the fixed support side. An oil seal is installed to the fixed support side used with an angular contact ball bearing. Fine clearance may occur with this seal. A deep-groove ball bearing with a shield on both sides is used on the simple support side.

ALock nut is provided. A lock nut with fine grade finish is provided to fix the bearing with high precision.

(1) Support Units for Light Load and Small Equipment

(For light load) Example:

WBK 08 S - 01 A

Product code for support unit

No code or A: For general use B: Low-profile type (only for square type) C: For clean environment use

Nominal size code* Mounting code No code: Fixed support unit S: Simple support unit SF: Simple support unit (for FSS and VFA) R: Fixed support unit (support kit for miniature ball screws)

01: Square type 11: Round type

*) In case of simple support unit, please note that the nominal size code of 12 or less does not strictly represent internal bore of bearing in millimeters. Please refer to the dimensional table for internal bore of bearing.

Support units for light load and small equipment provide both fixed and support side bearing assemblies to support screw shafts. They provide all required parts such as bearing locknuts so that you can mount them directly to NSK standard ball screws, of which shaft ends are machined. Please refer to the dimensions listed on the dimension table for the configuration of standard screw shaft ends for NSK standard ball screws with blank shaft ends. For ball screws for transfer equipment, you require optional spacers when mounting fixed support side support units.

(a) Features APrompt delivery All support units are standard products. ABest selection of bearings for your application General use support units for fixed support side are equipped with highly rigid angular contact ball bearings that have been assembled with proper preload, and packed with the appropriate volume of grease. On the other hand, clean support units for fixed support side uses low dust emission grease, and low torque special bearings. Sealed deep groove ball bearings are used for simple support side units for both general and clean environment use.

ALow torque It features low torque characteristics because of special bearings. (50% lower than general support unit.) AHigh antirust specification Low temperature chrome plating is applied to bearing housings, retaining plates, locknuts and spacers to improve antirust properties. Moreover, bolts and snap rings are made of stainless steel. The table below shows the surface treatment of the bearing housing and material of small parts.

Lock nut, grease unit, and travel stopper (5) Travel stopper (made-to-order) to a hand grease pump quickly. For details of grease types, see page D13 and for a hand grease pump and nozzles, see page D19.

A travel stopper is installed in some cases to prevent the ball nut from overrunning to the end of ball thread due to a malfunction of the safety system of the equipment or by a human error. NSK has several series of shock-absorbing travel stoppers. The travel stopper is not sold as a single item since it is not for general use.

jD

NSK has numerous grease types that are exclusive for ball screw lubrication. They come in bellows-shaped tubes, which can be attached

Also, a travel stopper cannot be used for ball screw with the end cap type ball recirculation system, because the stopper would come directly into contact with the component for ball recirculation. Please request NSK for the installation of the travel stoppers when ordering a ball screw.

This is highly rigid and accurate ball screw support bearing often used for the machine tools driving mechanism. (a) High axial rigidity High-rigidity achieved by higher contact angle at 60 degrees and an increased number of smaller-diameter balls. (b) Small friction torque Friction torque is far less than that of tapered or cylindrical roller bearing. This contributes to accurate rotation by a smaller driving power. (c) Pre-adjusted axial play Combination bearings are already adjusted to a suitable preload. Universal combination bearing (SU) furnishes certain preload for all combinations (DB, DF, and other). (d) Simple mounting structure A duplex combination of bearings can receive axial and radial loads. Therefore, the installation structure is simpler than when both a thrust bearing and a radial bearing are used. (e) Easy handling Inner and outer rings are inseparable, and are easy to handle. (f) Superb polyamide resin retainer Uses polyamide resin retainer which is superb to friction and furnishes high precision rotations.

(3) Combinations of bearings Generally, a set uses more than two pieces (referred to as 'two rows') of bearings and, thus the preload is applied. There are two types of combination: A Combined bearings Bearings are adjusted as a single combined set. Since the bearing alignment is pre-set, there is no interchangeability between the bearing set. A Universal combination bearing (SU) Single bearings are manufactured under strict control of component accuracy so that they can be universally assembled as a combination of ball screw support bearing set.

(a) Combined bearings • Fig. 2 shows examples of combinations. There is "V" mark on the outside surface of the bearing to avoid misarrangement. A complete letter "V" should be formed when all bearings align correctly to form a set. • DF combination which easily absorbs misalignment with the ball screw nut is used in general.

(b) Universal combination bearing (SU) • Unlike the above case, the marks on the outside surface of bearings do not form a letter "V." The tip of the "V" on each bearing simply indicates the direction to which axial load can be applied.

(4) Preload, rigidity, and starting torque

(5) Accuracy

The Table 3 shows preload, rigidity (spring modulus), and starting torque with grease lubrication. (The starting torque should be 1.4 times higher when oil is used as a lubricant.) Consult NSK for the bearing combinations not included in the table below.

(a) Accuracy grades Uses NSK standard PN7A and PN7B which are equivalent to JIS4 grade of the radial ball bearing. Combined bearing ––––––––––––––– PN7A Universal combination bearing ––– PN7B However, PN7A is stricter than JIS4 grade regarding axial run out of inner and outer rings. PN7B is stricter regarding the tolerance of the bore and outside diameter (Table 4).

(b) Fits Table 5 shows recommended values of the tolerance of shaft and housing bore.
