Type of Assembly Length
Ball Screw
System Size
The SuperSlide has a pre-designed Maximum
Acceptable Travel Rate. Calculate maximum
rotational speed (rpm) by dividing your required
maximum linear speed (in/min) by the corresponding
system ball screw lead (in/rev.). Enter the chart
with the required system length and your maximum
rotational speed. Select the system with a maximum
acceptable travel rate curve above the plotted line.
Compressive load on the ball screw is a key
factor in selecting the proper System. Using
maximum load and acceleration requirements,
plot compressive load on the left side of the chart.
Using System length and compressive load. plot
the maximum allowable compressive force on the
right chart. Select the System with a rated maximum
compressive force above your plotted point.
If you have questions concerning your system
requirements, contact the Thomson Systems
application engineering department.
Note: Ball screw should never exceed recommended
critical speed.
