2 | BALL SCREW TECHNOLOGY 2.3 | BEARING JOURNALS AND BEARING RECOMMENDATIONS The mounting should allow for rotation of the shaft and simultaneously pass very high load bearing capacity and shaft that is adequate for the axial and the axial force on the ball screw stiffness, such that only high-quality prestressing force of this bearing is of into the adjacent construction with bearings that are optimized for drive crucial importance. as little deformation as possible. screw mounting can adequately meet Fig. 1: The most simple and cost- compared to the nominal diameter of shaft can sufficiently...

2 | BALL SCREW TECHNOLOGY 2.3.1 | Bearing selection The support bearing of a ball screw This discussion thus only represents should be able to absorb the axial an initial point of reference for selection of bearings. It is by no means lateral forces from the belt drive. It meant to be universally applicable or can sometimes be difficult to find a complete. The following criteria apply suitable bearing for ball screws with large cycle criteria, and high load rating. At the same time, the bearing • xial dynamic load rating roughly A should have a sufficiently small inner equivalent to the dynamic...
