Ball Screw Jacks

Product catalog summary
Overview of Ball Screw Jacks
Ball screw jacks convert rotary motion into linear motion for lifting or positioning, offering higher efficiency and longer life compared to traditional acme screws. Efficiency ranges from 30% to 70%. They can be used individually or in systems for synchronized movement.
Models and Series
Two main models exist: travelling screw (Model A) and travelling nut (Model B). The product range includes three series: MA BS (high performance), SJ BS (standard performance), and HS (high speed), each designed for specific performance and cost requirements.
Manufacturing Features
SERVOMECH uses advanced technology and CNC tools, adhering to ISO 9001:2008 standards. The MA BS and SJ BS series feature precision worm gearboxes, while the HS series uses bevel gears for high efficiency and quiet operation. Ball screws are made from high-quality alloy steel, with options for backlash or preloaded nuts.
Materials and Components
Threaded shafts are made from quenched and tempered alloy steel, available in various diameters and leads. Nuts are made from case-hardened alloy steel. Housing materials include hardened aluminum alloy and grey cast iron.
Material Specifications
Specifications include grey cast iron, spheroidal graphite iron, welded steel, bronze wormwheel, and various steel types for shafts and gears.
HS Series Screw Jacks
Features include housing made from grey cast iron, various input versions, continuous operation suitability, and load capacities from 10 kN to 200 kN.
Design and Mounting
Multiple input shaft configurations and mounting positions are available, with additional output shafts for the HS Series.
Self-locking Conditions
Self-locking is not guaranteed due to high efficiency; brake motors are recommended. Conditions vary based on efficiency values.
Ball Screw Buckling and Critical Speed
Buckling resistance is crucial for push loads, with specific formulas for critical rotating speed calculation. Recommendations for horizontal mounting are provided.
Ball Screw Critical Rotating Speed
Maximum rotating speed is determined by internal factors, with a table provided for various nominal diameters.
Ball Screw Life Calculation
Life is defined by the number of revolutions before fatigue, with a formula provided for nominal life calculation.
MA BS Series Mod.A - Structural Elements
Describes structural components including ball screw, ball nut, worm, wormwheel, bearings, and lubrication systems.
MA BS Series Mod.A - Technical Data
Technical specifications include load capacity, ball screw diameter, and worm gear center distance.
Performance and Efficiency
Performance tables show linear speed, torque, and power for different input speeds and loads. Efficiency is calculated using ball screw, worm-wormwheel, and bearings and seals efficiencies.
Additional Technical Details
Includes housing materials, mass specifications, and optional configurations for ball screws.
Specifications for Mod.B
Includes dimensions for ball screw nut codes, flange types, and efficiency ratings.
Ball Nut Dimensions and Life
Dimensions and life diagrams are provided for various ball screw sizes.
Technical Specifications for Servomotors
Includes mounting positions, load capacities, and environmental conditions for screw jacks and servomotors.
Installation and Maintenance
Instructions include breather plug positioning, lubrication, and connection of stroke limit devices.
Technical Data and Standards
Servomotors comply with IEC standards and are marked with CE, with optional features like thermal protection.

Ball screw jacks 1.1 Ball screw jacks description Screw jacks transform a rotary motion of an electric, hydraulic or pneumatic motor or even a manual operation into a vertical linear lifting motion (push or pull) or into a horizontal positioning motion. Screw jacks can be installed as a single unit or in lifting systems with different layouts connected by transmission shafts, couplings and bevel gearboxes. Screw jacks enable the synchronized constant movement of lifting systems even with a not uniformly distributed load. Ball screw jacks combine the gear unit with a linear drive performed by...

Ball screw jacks 1.5 Models Ball screw jacks are available in two different models: • travelling screw (Model A) • travelling nut (Model B) Model A - travelling screw The ball nut is integral with the worm wheel. The linear motion is performed by the ball screw being driven by the nut through the screw jack housing, therefore there must be enough space on both screw jack sides. In operation, the screw does not rotate and its translation is possible only if the reacting torque is applied. Accessories: • protective tube • protective bellows • safety nut • various screw end attachments • limit switches...

Ball screw jacks 1.5 Models MA BS Series screw jacks are available in both models, while SJ BS and HS Series are available only with travelling nut. The choice of the model depends on the selected screw jack type or on the specific requirements of the application, but in case it can be chosen between the two models (only for MA BS Series), it should be considered that, with same ball screw diameter and lead, the performances of the screw jack MA BS Series Mod. A are higher than those obtained with Mod.B. This is due to the fact that the travelling screw model has an integrated structure between...
