Ball Splines Linear Slides Electric Cylinders Worm Gear Screw Jacks Profile Rails Planetary Roller Screws EZZE Mounts™ Modular Linear Actuators In 1969, Joseph H. Nook Jr. founded Nook Industries, Inc., intent on becoming a global supplier of Linear Motion products. Ball screws, both rolled and ground, were the cornerstone products in the early 1970’s, putting Nook Industries on the map as a successful business and a trusted company. screws to the latest technologies, Nook Industries strives to provide customers with high quality products and engineered solutions. Companies around the world depend...

INTRODUCTION Nook Industries has always been a leader in developing highquality linear motion components and systems to meet the everincreasing demand for precision linear motion. Precision-rolled ball screws have long been a hallmark of Nook Industries, and the latest innovations from Nook Industries are Precision Metric Ball Screws (PMBS™). They are manufactured in the United States to meet the increasing demand for metric ball screws in the global market. The PMBS™ product line offers linear lead accuracy classes of T10, T7, T5, and T3, which comply with the ISO 3408 ball screw standard. All...

TECHNICAL DATA PRECISION METRIC AND MINIATURE BALL SCREWS TECHNICAL DEFINITIONS LEAD ACCURACY The selection of the correct ball screw and nut for a particular application involves five interrelated factors. Before attempting to determine the ball screw and nut combination, the following values must be known: • Load measured in newtons • Speed measured in millimeters per minute • Length between bearings measured in millimeters OVERTURNING LOAD - A load that tends to rotate the nut radially around the longitudinal axis of the screw. SIDE LOAD - A load that is applied radially to the nut. CAUTION...

TECHNICAL DATA When considering the total torque required for a given screw assembly, you must consider several factors. If Preload is applied to the ball screw assembly, Drag Torque is added to either the Driving Torque or Backdriving Torque. DRIVING TORQUE When rotation is converted into linear motion (Normal Operation), the torque can be obtained from the following formula: Ttotal driving torque = Td + Tp Ttotal backdriving torque = Tb + Tp Ttotal holding torque = Tb - Tp Lead Angle Tp = Drag torque (N·m) Tb = Backdriving torque (N·m) BACKDRIVING TORQUE When linear motion is converted into...

TECHNICAL DATA PRECISION METRIC AND MINIATURE BALL SCREWS LIFE EXPECTANCY Fm = equivalent axial load (N) Indirect Vibration Direct Vibration AND High Cyclical Impact nj = rotational speed at load Fj (rpm) nm = equivalent rotational speed (rpm) and is given by the following equation: n DIRECT VIBRATION - Any vibration directly linked to the screw assembly which influences the stability of the assembly. LIFE (ADJUST TO RELIABILITY) If operation reliability higher than 90% is required, then the theoretical life must be corrected by using a reliability factor (far) according to the table. Lar = L...

TECHNICAL DATA PRECISION METRIC AND MINIATURE BALL SCREWS Assuming Earth gravity at Sea Level, a simplified formula for calculating critical speed is available: END FIXITY - End fixity refers to the method by which the ends of the screw are supported. The degree of end fixity is related to the amount of restraint of the ends of the screw. It is important to determine the proper end fixity in order to determine the appropriate screw size for a give application. COLUMN STRENGTH - When a screw is loaded in compression (see compression load definition on page 6), its limit of elastic stability can...
