Strong Dust-proof SFNU Series Ball Screw

The SFNU series is a ball screw specifically designed to withstand harsh working conditions involving dust, debris, and liquid splashes. Based on the standard flanged SFU series, it integrates a highly efficient sealing and dustproof system to ensure the cleanliness of the internal raceway, thus maintaining high precision and long-term stable operation in complex environments. It is an ideal transmission choice for highly reliable automation equipment.

Technology

The true value of the SFNU series lies in its proactive defense design concept, which contrasts sharply with the protection capabilities of standard ball screws. Its core advantages are compared below

Characteristic Dimensions SFNU Series Heavy-Duty Dust-Proof Type Standard flange type (e.g. SFU series)
Core Strengths Exceptional environmental resilience, engineered for demanding operating conditions. Cost-effective, suitable for clean or general operating conditions.
Protection Capability Multi-stage sealing system (typically incorporating contact scraper seals + labyrinth non-contact seals) effectively blocks ingress of dust, debris and liquids. Equipped only with basic dust seals, offering limited protection.
Operational Reliability Internal raceways maintain high cleanliness, with grease remaining uncontaminated for stable, reliable long-term operation and low failure rates. In dusty environments, susceptible to accelerated wear, increased noise or seizure due to contaminant ingress.
Service Life Under equivalent harsh conditions, service life is significantly extended with longer maintenance intervals. Service life significantly reduced in dusty conditions.
Maintenance Costs Substantially reduces unexpected downtime and replacement costs caused by environmental contaminants, delivering lower overall operating costs. May require more frequent cleaning, maintenance or replacement.
Applicable Scenarios Applications include woodworking machinery, stone processing, agricultural machinery, foundries, and outdoor equipment. Suitable for factory clean zones, laboratories, standard assembly lines, etc.

Main Technical Parameters and Design
Dustproof Structure: Typically uses a multi-layer end cap seal. The outermost layer is a scraper-type sealing ring that powerfully removes particles from the shaft surface; the inner layer is a labyrinth seal that blocks fine dust through a tortuous path.

Accuracy and Performance: Inherits the C7 standard accuracy of rolled ball screws, with high transmission efficiency (>90%). The dustproof design has no negative impact on motion smoothness and accuracy.

Specification Range: Provides common shaft diameters from φ12mm to φ50mm and various lead options. The nut flange dimensions are compatible with the standard SFU series, facilitating equipment upgrades and replacements.

Easy Installation: The integrated flange design allows for installation identical to standard flanged nuts, requiring no changes to the equipment's structural design.

Typical Application Scenarios
The SFNU series provides reliable transmission protection for industries facing contamination challenges, including:

Wood and Stone Processing: Sawing, carving, and grinding equipment, handling wood chips and stone dust.

Agriculture and Engineering Machinery: Outdoor mobile equipment such as seeders and fertilizer spreaders, providing protection against dust and moisture.

Food and Packaging Industry: Handling slightly corrosive powders such as sugar and starch.

General Automation: Automation units in factories near grinding, stamping, and other processes that generate debris.

The core value of the strong dust-proof SFNU Series Ball Screw is "providing protective armor for precision transmission." It is not just a transmission component, but a reliable solution for harsh working environments, effectively ensuring long-term stable operation of equipment under demanding conditions, fundamentally reducing maintenance costs and downtime risks.

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.

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.

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.
