Case Study: Ball Screw Pretension Issue

⦿ Purpose of Ball Screw Pretension

1. Reduce the bending of ball crew due the weight

2. Compensate the thermal expansion of ball screw

3. Increasing the rigidity of ball screw

⦿ Bearing Damage and Failure Mode about the Pretension Issue

Failure Reason:
1. Nut is not fastened

2. The pretension is not enough

3. The temperature raising of the ball screw exceeds expectation

Countermeasures:
1. The precision nut should be fastened

2. The quantity of pretension should be enough
(Set the gauges on the motor side & supporting side of the ball screw at the same time while measuring the quantity of pretension)
