Straight Cylinder Type SCA Series Ball Screw

The straight cylinder type SCA series ball screw is a ball screw with a standard cylindrical outer diameter nut. It eliminates the common flange, using external locking nuts or clamping sleeves for fixation, providing engineers with exceptional design flexibility and installation freedom for arranging precise linear motion in compact spaces.

Technology

The core value of the SCA series lies in its "decentralized" installation concept and maximized space utilization. Complementary to flanged series, its advantages are compared below

Characteristic Dimensions SCA Series Straight-Type Flange type (SFU series)
Core Advantages Space-saving and installation-flexible, suitable for compact and irregular designs. Secure and straightforward installation, suitable for standard structures.
Structural Dimensions Reduced radial dimensions with the nut's outer diameter serving as the installation dimension. Absence of protruding flanges significantly conserves installation envelope space. The flange increases the radial mounting dimensions of the nut.
Installation Methods Versatile: Can be secured circumferentially or axially via set screws on the nut's outer circumference, or by pairing with split lock nuts/clamping sleeves, allowing for minor angular and positional adjustments after installation. Direct fixing: Secured directly via bolt holes in the flange for simple, stable installation, though position and angle are difficult to adjust once set.
Design Adaptability Highly adaptable. Easily integrates into cylindrical bore cavities or suits applications requiring nut rotation (as the drive end). General. Requires a flat mounting base, suitable for most standard plate structures.
Cost and Complexity The nut itself features a simple structure, but requires additional locking components, potentially resulting in slightly higher overall installation complexity. Nut with integrated flange, fewer installation components, overall convenience.

Detailed Installation Methods

Set Screw Fixing: A flat surface is machined on the outer diameter of the nut, and 2-3 set screws are used to tighten it into the mounting hole for fixation.

Locking Nut Fixing: Using a separate locking nut (commonly known as a "collar") to clamp the nut from both ends is the most common and secure method.

Clamping Sleeve Fixing: An open elastic clamping sleeve is used to wrap the nut, generating uniform clamping force when tightened, making installation convenient.

Accuracy and Performance: As a rolled ball screw, the standard accuracy is typically C7 grade, offering high transmission efficiency and a variety of shaft diameter and lead options from miniature to medium sizes.

Optional Configurations: Available in single nut (with clearance) or double nut preloaded (zero clearance) forms to meet different rigidity requirements.

Typical Application Scenarios
The SCA series ball screw, with its compact and flexible features, excels in the following areas:
Precision instruments and laboratory equipment: Spectrometers, microscope stages, optical adjustment mechanisms.
Small-scale automation and robotics: Desktop robotic arms, 3D printers, small linear modules, precision slides.
Semiconductor and electronics manufacturing: Chip testing equipment, Z-axis lifting for small dispensing valves.
Medical equipment: Dental chair adjustment mechanisms, motion components for small diagnostic instruments.
Any situation where space is limited and clever mechanical design is required.

The Straight cylinder type SCA series ball screw is a master of space optimization and a design decoupling tool. Through its simplified nut shape, it completely entrusts the decision-making power for installation and fixation to the designer, thereby achieving a more reasonable transmission layout within space-constrained equipment. Choosing the SCA series means gaining valuable space and flexibility for the design of your precision equipment.

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.
