Strong Dust-proof SCNI/SCI Series Ball Screw

The SCNI/SCI series ball screw is an enhanced, protected version of the cylindrical type (SCA series). While maintaining the space-saving advantages of a cylindrical nut, it integrates a highly efficient sealing system, providing a compact and robust precision transmission solution for compact equipment in environments with dust, debris, or liquid splashes, such as food processing, outdoor machinery, and woodworking equipment.

Technology

The core value of this series lies in "building a reliable defense in a limited space." It simultaneously solves the two major challenges of space constraints and environmental protection, offering outstanding overall advantages

Characteristic Dimensions SCNI/SCI Series (Straight-Barrel Heavy-Duty Dust-Proof Type) Standard Straight Type (SCA Series) Flange-mounted heavy-duty dust-proof type (e.g. SFNU series)
Core Advantages Dual optimisation for environmental adaptability in confined spaces. Ultra-compact and flexible. Robust protection with straightforward installation.
Space Occupancy Compact radial dimensions retain straight-barrel structural advantages without protruding flanges. Small radial dimensions. Enlarged flange diameter for radial mounting dimensions.
Protection Capability Integrated multi-stage sealing system (scraper + labyrinth) effectively repels dust and debris ingress. Typically only basic dust protection, offering low protection level. Integrated multi-stage sealing system delivers superior containment.
Installation Flexibility Highly adaptable, accommodating diverse mounting methods including lock nuts and clamping sleeves for straightforward installation and fine-tuning within confined cavities. High. Fixed installation requiring dedicated flange mounting surface; moderate flexibility.
Environmental Adaptability Robustly engineered for compact, contaminant-prone operating environments. Low, suitable only for clean environments. Highly effective for contaminated operating environments.
Typical Application Scenarios Applications: Compact woodworking machinery, food packaging equipment, agricultural robotics, field inspection apparatus. 3D printers, desktop robots, clean laboratory instruments. Suitable for large machining centres, industrial production lines, and heavy machinery.

Dual Design Integration
Compact Structure: Uses a standard cylindrical nut, fixed with an external locking nut (collar) or clamping sleeve, saving installation space.
Powerful Sealing: Contact-type wiper seals and non-contact labyrinth seals are integrated at both ends of the nut, forming multiple lines of defense to ensure clean lubrication and block most contaminants.
Precision and Performance: As a rolled ball screw, the standard accuracy is typically C7 grade, providing reliable transmission efficiency and positioning accuracy. Preload options are available to eliminate axial clearance.
Specifications and Compatibility: Available in various shaft diameters and leads. The outer diameter is usually the same as the standard cylindrical (SCA) nut of the same specification, making it easy to directly upgrade and replace in existing compact designs, improving environmental resistance.

Application Scenarios
The SCNI/SCI series is an ideal choice for the following space-constrained and unclean environments:
Compact processing equipment: Small CNC engraving machines, desktop stone engraving machines, woodworking engraving machines.
Specialized automation equipment: Small sorting machines and packaging machines in the food industry; seeding or fertilizing modules in agricultural automation.
Outdoor and mobile equipment: Telescopic mechanisms for portable testing instruments, drive components for outdoor photography gimbals.
Industrial environments requiring cleanliness: Automation units near workshops in electronics factories, requiring dust protection but with limited installation space.

The SCNI/SCI series cylindrical, heavy-duty dustproof ball screw is the "multifunctional Swiss Army knife" among precision transmission components. It successfully provides compact devices with powerful environmental resistance without increasing their size. Choosing this series means you can obtain an optimal engineering solution for challenging design requirements—both compactness and durability—significantly improving the reliability and market applicability of your equipment in harsh conditions.

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.

Design Accuracy

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.

Fig 1.1.1 Diagram of Lead Accuracy

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)

1-1-2 Axial Play

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

Table 1.1.4 Classification of Axial Play

Grade P0 P1 P2 P3 P4
Axial Play Yes No No No No
Preload No No Light Medium Heavy

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.

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.
