Feature
The advantage of internal ball circulation nut is that the outer diameter is smaller than that of
external ball circulation nut (Fig.6.3.1.3). Hence it is suitable for the machine with limit space for Ball
Screw installation.
It is strictly required that there is at least one end of screw shaft with complete threads. Also the rest
area next to this complete thread must be with smaller diameter than the nominal diameter of the
screw shaft. Above are required for easy assembling the ball nut onto the screw shaft.

6.3.1.3 High lead Ball Screws

Feature
It is important for a high lead Ball Screw to be with characteristics of high rigidity, low noise and
thermal control. ABBA designs and treatments are taken for following:
1 High DN value
The DN value can be 130,000 in normal case. For some special cases,
for example in a fixed ends case, the DN value can be as high as
140,000. Please contact our engineers for this special application.
2 High speed
ABBA high speed Ball Screws provide 100 m/min and even higher
traverse speed for machine tools for high performance cutting.
3 High rigidity
Both the screw and ball nut are surface hardened to a specific hard-
ness and case depth to maintain high rigidity and durability. Low noise circulation’s nut
Multiple thread starts are available to make more steel balls loaded in
the ball nut for higher rigidity and durability.
4 Low noise
Special design of ball circulation tubes (patent pending) offer smooth
ball circulation inside the ball nut. It also makes safe ball fast running
into the tubes without damaging the tubes.
Accurate ball circle diameter (BCD) through whole threads for consistent
drag torque and low noise.

6.4.1 Ball Screw’s preload and effect

In order to get high positioning accuracy, there are two

ways to reach it. One is commonly known as to clear
axial play to zero. The other one is to increase Ball
Screw rigidity to reduce elastic deformation while taking
axial load. Both two ways are done by preloading.

1 Methods of preloading

Double-nut method: Single-nut method:

A spacer inserted between two nuts exerts a As that illustrated on Fig. 6.4.1.2 using

 6.5 Life
6.5.1 Life of the Ball Screw

Even though the Ball Screw has been used with correct manner, it shall naturally be worn out and
can no longer be used for a specified period. its life is defined by the period from starting use to
ending use caused by nature fail.
a. Fatigue life - Time period for surface flaking off happened either on balls or on thread grooves.
b. Accuracy life - Time period for serious loosing of accuracy caused by wearing happened on thread
groove surface, hence to make Ball Screw can no longer be used.

6.5.2 Fatigue life

The basic dynamic rate load (Ca) of the Ball Screw is used to calculate its fatigue life.

6.5.2.1 Basic dynamic rate load Ca

The basic dynamic rate load (Ca) is the revolution of 106 that 90% of identical Ball Screw units in a
group, when operated independently of one another under the same conditions, can achieve without
developing flaking.

Same as the rolling bearings, if there is the particles such as chips or water get into the Ball Screw, the
wearing problem shall be deteriorated. In some serious cases, Ball Screw shall then be damaged. In
order to prevent these problems from happening, there are wipers assembled at both ends of ball nut to
