BSG/DSG Series Aluminium Nut Mounts |
Traditional homemade steel mounts |
Summary of Core Values |
| Material and weight |
Made from high-strength aluminium alloy (e.g. 6061-T6), these mounts are extremely lightweight, effectively reducing the inertia of moving parts. |
These are typically made of carbon steel and are relatively heavy. |
Significantly improves dynamic response speed and reduces drive energy consumption. |
| Ease of installation |
Ready to install. Featuring standard mounting holes (e.g. P, W, Y dimensions) and a centring reference surface, they require no on-site machining or adjustment, significantly reducing assembly time. |
They require in-house design, machining, drilling and tapping, which involves a cumbersome process and makes alignment difficult. |
Standardised design simplifies integration and ensures assembly accuracy and consistency. |
| Precision and rigidity |
Precision machined with strict geometric and positional tolerances on critical mating surfaces (D-bore, H-base), ensuring accurate nut alignment, secure installation and no residual stress. |
Machining accuracy depends on the equipment and the skill of the machinists, making it prone to errors that can affect the service life and precision of the lead screw. |
Preserves the inherent performance of the lead screw system, with zero loss of transmission accuracy. |
| Heat dissipation and corrosion resistance |
The aluminium alloy offers excellent heat dissipation, aiding the removal of heat during operation. The surface is typically anodised for corrosion resistance and an attractive finish. |
Heat dissipation is slow, and they are susceptible to rust, requiring additional surface treatment. |
Enhances long-term operational stability and adapts to a wider range of environments. |
| Maintenance and compatibility |
Designed for specific nut models (e.g. SFU1616) with 100% compatibility. Can be directly replaced in the event of damage, ensuring simple maintenance. |
As they are custom-made for specific equipment, they lack versatility, and replacement requires remanufacturing. |
Reduces spare parts inventory and management costs, whilst facilitating easy maintenance. |
