Technical concepts Introduction to Ewellix ball Nominal fatigue life L10 Nominal fatigue life is, according to the ISO definition, the screws life achieved or exceeded by 90% of a large-enough group Ball screws convert rotary motion into linear motion, and vice-versa, and loads are transferred from the screw shaft to the nut through a ball set: in this sense, ball screws relate to general bearing technology. Various types of bearing steel are used to attain the hardness and material fatigue properties required for carrying heavy application loads over extended periods of service. Some...

Equivalent dynamic load The loads acting on the screw can be calculated according to the laws of mechanics if the external forces (e.g. power transmission, work, rotary and linear inertia forces) are known or can be calculated. It is necessary to calculate the equivalent dynamic load. Radial and moment loads must be taken up by linear bearing systems. It is extremely important to resolve these problems at the earliest possible design stage. These forces are detrimental to the life and the expected performance of the screw (⮑ fig. 1). When the load fluctuates during the working cycle, it is...

High speed associated with high load requires a large input power and yields a relatively short nominal life1). In the case of high acceleration and deceleration, we recommend either working under a nominal external load or applying a light preload to the nut to avoid internal sliding during reversal of movement. The preload for screws subjected to high velocity must be calculated to ensure that the rolling elements do not slide1). Excessive preload will create an unaccep able increase in t the internal temperature. Screw shaft buckling The column loading of the screw shaft must be checked...

Static axial stiffness of a complete assembly Materials, heat treatment and coatings The static axial stiffness of a complete ball screw assembly is the ratio of the external axial load applied to the system and the axial displacement of the face of the nut in relation to the fixed (anchored) end of the screw shaft. Please see calculation formulae (⮑ pages 14 to 15). Standard screw shafts are manufactured from carbon steel which is surface hardened by induction. For standard screws, Nut stiffness: Rn When a preload is applied to a split nut, the internal play is eliminated. Additionally,...

Operating temperature Screws made from standard steel and screws operating under normal loads can operate from –20 to +110 °C. Between 110 °C and 130 °C, Ewellix must be notified for adaptation of the annealing procedure and for review of the application with hardness below the standard minimum value. Above 130 °C, steel adapted to the temperature of the application should be selected (100Cr6, special steel, etc.). Please consult Ewellix for advice. Operation at high temperatures will lower the steel hardness, alter the thread accuracy, may increase the oxidation of the materials and change...
