Life Span

When the rated life span (L) is obtained, the life span can be calculated by equation (2) if the stroke length andreciprocations of the system per minute are defined.

Rated Life Span

The rated life span (L) refers to the total number of revolutions that 90% of a group of the same ball screws(support bearings) can achieve without flaking when individually operated under the exact conditions.The rated life of the ball screws or support bearings is calculated by equation (3).

If two nut blocks are used and closely linked together in theSKR-B or SKR-D type, multiply the basic rated load by thecontact factor shown in Table 6.

K: moment equivalent coefficient (LM guide)

If a moment load is incurred, the load-carrying distribution on the LM guide increases locally. In this case, multiply themoment value with the moment equivalent coefficient shown in Table 8 to make the load calculation.K
