Fast-Travel Ball Screws and Nuts


	Flange Nut Ball Nuts Style F	Flange Nut Ball Nuts Style G

Multiple thread channels (also known as thread starts) create faster linear travel than ball screws with a single thread start. Internal ball bearings provide smooth low-friction travel in applications that require high speeds, accurate positioning, and repeatable movement. To ensure compatibility, select components that have the same thread size and number of thread starts. Ball nuts are furnished with a tube to keep ball bearings in place. Do not remove the tube until you are ready to install the nuts onto the screws.

Black-Oxide Alloy Steel—Black-oxide alloy steel ball nuts have mild corrosion resistance.

Travel Distance per Turn—Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is the distance a ball nut moves with one revolution of the ball screw.

Wipers—Secure a way wiper on the end of a ball nut to sweep chips and other contaminants out of the way as it moves across the ball screw.

Ball Screws and Nuts


	Flange Nut Ball Nuts Style D	Ball Nuts Flange Nut Style E

Internal ball bearings provide smooth low-friction travel in applications that require high speeds, accurate positioning, and repeatable movement. Also known as single-start ball screws and nuts, they have a single thread that runs the length of the screw. They operate with more torque than fast-travel ball screws and nuts. To ensure compatibility, select components that have the same thread direction and size. Ball nuts are furnished with a tube to keep ball bearings in place. Do not remove the tube until you are ready to install the nuts onto the screws.

Self-Stopping Ball Screws and Nuts

Stop Pin Shown Installed

Keep your ball screw spinning without the ball nut damaging your system—a clutch-like collar inside the ball nut prevents it from travelling past the stop pins. Install the included stop pins anywhere along the length of the ball screw by drilling a hole in the valley of the threads (also known as the root) and pressing in the stop pin. When the collar meets the stop pin, the ball nut disengages from the threads and begins to idle. To start the ball nut travelling again, spin the ball screw in the opposite direction. All components are black-oxide steel and have mild corrosion resistance. To ensure compatibility, select components that have the same thread size. Ball nuts are furnished with a tube to keep ball bearings in place. Do not remove the tube until you are ready to install the nuts onto the screws.
