screws

SKF Linear Motion has launched a new range of miniature ball screws, providing improved performance, with smooth running, low noise, accurate positioning, excellent repeatability and high efficiency

SKF Linear Motion has launched a new range of miniature ball screws The new SD range of miniature ball screws, available from SKF Engineering Products Limited, provides improved performance over the previous generation including, smooth running, low noise, accurate positioning, excellent repeatability and high efficiency (good backdriving)

The smooth running and excellent backdriving are made possible through the use of the new SD internal recirculation nut.

This cylindrical nut is available with a threaded end for easy mounting, with ball recirculation facilitated by a number of individual inserts instead of an integrated tube.

The SD design compliments and extends the SH range providing higher dynamic load capacities with the additional diameter and lead variants.

The range covers nominal diameters from 8 to 16 mm, with leads from 2 to 5 mm.

Part of the range has the option to include an integrated backup safety device to sustain load in the unlikely event of ball failure.

Shield wipers can be specified and corrosion resistance be can improved by phosphate treatment of the screw shaft on request and on certain sizes.

The SD range will find applications in the medical and defence fields and in applications which require low power consumption such as portable tools. Request a free brochure from SKF UK ...
