High Speed Low Noise SFS Series Ball Screw

Main Technical Parameters and Design
Circulation System Optimization:  Typically uses a high-flow end cap return design or special guide vanes to ensure smooth and fluid ball movement through the return tube at high speeds, which is key to achieving low-noise, high-speed operation.
Ball and Lead Matching:  Recommended use of smaller steel balls or optimized lead (such as large lead) to reduce ball rotational speed, thus reducing centrifugal force and noise at the source.
Accuracy Class: Offers various accuracy options such as C5 and C7, maintaining high positioning accuracy even at high speeds.
Lubrication Design: Optimized grease filling or oil ports for high-speed conditions to ensure long-lasting lubrication.
Specification Range: Covers common shaft diameters and offers large-lead models specifically optimized for high speeds.

Typical Application Scenarios
The SFS series is the ideal core component for equipment with extreme demands on speed and quiet operation:
High-speed precision manufacturing: Semiconductor packaging equipment, PCB drilling machines, high-speed precision engraving machines.
Automation and robotics: High-speed Delta/SCARA robots, high-speed pick-and-place manipulators, precision assembly lines.
Inspection and medical: High-speed image scanners, automated analytical instruments, medical diagnostic equipment.
High-end machine tools: Feed axes for high-speed machining centers and precision grinding machines.

The SFS series high-speed low-noise ball screw is more than just a faster component; it represents a high-quality motion experience. Through precision design, it solves the contradiction between high speed and noise/temperature rise, providing a faster, more stable, and quieter transmission core for high-end equipment, directly improving the performance and market competitiveness of the end product.

Cyclone Milling Machines LWN160-6000mm Leistritz Cyclone milling machines imported directly from Germany, the ball screw shaft precision can be C3, C5, and C7 the max length can be 7000mm

Rolled Thread CNC Machines ST-20.2 and ST-347.7 rolled thread ball screw machines from TaiWan. The ball screw shaft precision can be C7 - C10

Ball Screw Assembly Workshop We conduct nut assembly in a constant temperature workshop,  all workers having decades of work experience and zero clearance between the screw and nut.

Ball Screw Assembly Workshop One ball screw shaft matches one ball screw nut. Because each ball screw shaft has a very tiny different tolerance. There are dozens of different ball sizes for different screw shaft. Our ball screw shaft and nut can be interchanged with the Taiwan TBI ball screw shaft and nut very well.

1-1-1 Lead/Travel Accuracy

According to the standard of JIS,we classified our lead accuracy through E,e,e3oo and e2m four main regulations.As figure 1.1.1～1.1.3 shown in below, all the definition and tolerance are specified.To test the accumulated travel deviations for grade C7 and C10, the tolerance wll be chosen in random 30omm of useful length and evaluated if it is qualified with the e300 table of 1.1.3.

Terms	Reference	Definition	Allowable
Travel Compensation	T	Travel compensation is the deduction between specified and nominal travel in the useful travel. A slightly smaller value compared with nominal travel is often selected by customer, to compensate for an expected elongation caused by temperature rise or external load. Therefore"T "” is usually a negative value. Note:if no compensation is needed,specified travel is the same as nominal travel.	Table 1.1.2
Actual Travel		Actual travel is the axial displacement of the nut relative to the screw shaft.
Mean Travel		Mean travelis the linear best fit line of actual. This could be obtained by the leastsquares method. This line represents the tendency of actual travel.
Mean Travel Deviation	E	Mean travel deviation is the deduction between mean travel and specified travel within travel length.
Travel Variations	e	Travel variations is the coverage of 2 lines drawn parallel to the mean travel. Maximum width of variation within the travel length. Actual width of variation for the length of 300mm taken anywhere within the travel length. Wobble error, actual width of variation for one revolution (2πt radian)	Table 1.1.2 Table 1.1.3 Table 1.1.3

1-1-2 Axial Play

Axial play of WANGONG's precision ball screw is shown below:

Table 1.1.4 Classification of Axial Play

Excessive preload increases the friction torque and generates heat which wll reduce the life expectancy. However, insufficient preload will reduce stifness and increase the possibility of lost motion. WANGONG recommends that the preload applied on CNC machine tools should not heavier than 8% of the dynamic load; 5% for industrial automation X-Y table.

1-1-3 Definition of Mounting Accuracy and Tolerance on Ball Screw

The main items of the mounting accuracy of ball screw are listed in below.
(1) Periphery run-out of the supporting part of the screw shaft to the screw groove.
(2) Concentricity of a mounting portion of the shaft to the adjacent ground portion of the screw shaft.
(3) Perpendicularity of the shoulders to the adjacent ground portion of tha screw shaft.
(4) Perpendicularity of the nut flange to the axis of the screw shaft.
(5) Concentricity of the ball nut diameter to the screw groove.
(6) Parallelism of the mounting surface of a ball nut to the screw groove.
(7) Total run-out of the screw shaft to the axis of the screw shaft.
All WANGONG ball screws are manufactured, inspected and guaranteed to be within specifications.

1-1-4 Preload Torque
As figure 1.1.3 shown in below, it specified allthe type of preload torque generated by rotating a preloaded ball screw.

Fig 1.1.3 Descriptions of preload torque

Glossary

1. Preload
To generate the inner force inside the ball screw to decrease the
clearance and increase the rigidity, a set of one gage ( approximately 2μ) larger steel balls is filled inside the nut or two nuts which are executing mutual displacement in axial direction.
2. Preload dynamic torque
The dynamic torque required for continuously rotating the screws shaft or the nuts under unload condition and the preload has applied to the ballscrews.
3. Reference torque
The targeted preload dynamic torque Fig 1.1.3-(1)
4. Torque variation values
The variation values of the targeted preload torque variation rates are specified.Take a positive or negative value relative to the reference torque.
5. Torque variation rate
The variation ratio of reference torque.
6. Actual torque
The actual measured preload dynamic torque of the ball screws.
7. Average actual torque
The arithmetic average of the maximal and minimal actual
torque values measured when the nuts are doing reciprocating
movements.
8. Actual torque variation values
After the nut doing reciprocating movements on the effective
length of the thread, the biggest variation tested will be the actual
torque variation value, which is covered between the positive and negative minimum value relative to the actual torque.
9. Actual torque variation rate
The rate of actual torque variation values in relation of the average
actual torque.

Remarks: 1. Slenderness is the value of dividing the screws shaft outside diameter with the screws shaft threading length.
