What are the functions of the accessories of the ball screw module

Ball screw modules and timing belt linear modules are the most common applications in the factory. Compared with timing belt linear modules, ball screw modules have more prominent features such as motion accuracy, load-bearing thrust, and load force. Therefore, , When our requirements are extremely high precision and stable operation, then the ball screw module is your first choice.

So, what are the powerful accessories of the ball screw module with extremely high precision and smooth operation, and what important roles these accessories play? Today I will take this issue to explain to you.

The ball screw linear module is mainly composed of linear guide, ball screw, aluminum alloy profile, ball screw support seat, motor, diaphragm coupling, photoelectric switch and other components.

Linear Guides

Linear guides, also known as slide rails, linear guides, are used in linear reciprocating motion applications. They have a higher rated load than linear bearings and can bear a certain torque at the same time to achieve high-precision linear motion under high loads. Screw linear modules mainly use ball linear guides, which have higher accuracy and load compared to double-axis guides, so that the ball screw modules can be used in situations that require higher precision and higher loads.

Ball screw

The ball screw converts rotary motion into linear motion, or converts linear motion into rotary motion. The ball screw is composed of a screw, a nut, a steel ball, a pre-compression piece, a reverser, and a dustproof device. Its function is to convert rotary motion into linear motion, which is a further extension and development of ball screws. The important significance of this development is to change the bearing from rolling motion to sliding motion. Moreover, the ball screw has the characteristics of high efficiency, high precision and high speed, which makes it widely used in precision equipment and fine-tuning industrial equipment.

Aluminum alloy profile

Aluminum alloy profiles have the characteristics of good casting performance, corrosion resistance, stable chemical properties, and beautiful appearance. It is an ideal basic power component for modular machine tools and automatic lines with good dynamic performance. The sliding table has high rigidity, small thermal deformation, and high feed stability, thus ensuring the actual accuracy under the processing state (under load).

Support base

The ball screw support seat has ultra-small angular contact ball bearings with high rigidity and high precision, which can obtain stable rotation performance. The internal bearing using deep groove ball bearings is packed with a proper amount of lithium soap-based grease and sealed with a special sealing gasket, which can be directly installed and used for a long time.

Diaphragm coupling

The diaphragm coupling can excellently satisfy a force transmission between the motor and the screw rod in high-speed motion, and can also compensate for radial, angular and axial deviations.

Photoelectric switch

Photoelectric switch is the abbreviation of photoelectric proximity switch. It is a kind of sensor. It converts the change of light intensity between the transmitting end and the receiving end into the change of current to achieve the purpose of detection. It has high accuracy, strong stability, and synchronization. Features.

Motor

There are two types of motor applications for linear modules, which are stepper motors and servo motors. The stepper motors have high heat resistance, and the servo motors allow the linear modules to run with high precision, high stability and high speed to meet various application requirements. , When the linear module uses the servo motor application, its accuracy, speed, load and other performance will be correspondingly improved. Therefore, the ball screw module is generally equipped with a servo motor, which is also one of the reasons for the high positioning accuracy and smooth operation of the ball screw module.

In fact, the components of the ball screw module have the characteristics of high stability and high precision, so that the ball screw module has become a leader in the precision equipment industry from many automation products, and the ball screw of Dongguan Heath The linear module can be customized according to your needs and parameters, and the quality can be guaranteed after sale.
