The FAR driven nut takes a different
approach.
In this solution, the screw does not
rotate, and the ball nut is driven by
a toothed belt.
There are no end bearings to limit the
speed or rigidity. Undesirable thermal
influences can be largely reduced by
stretching the screw. It is also possible
to have a hollow screw and to dissipate
the generated heat simply by means of
liquid cooling.
If desired, the nut assembly can be
delivered as a complete functional unit
with side drive timing belt and AC servo
motor.
With this configuration, even new drive
concepts, such as several motors on
one screw, can be easily put into
practice.
For drives using ball screws, the con-
ventional solution today is to have the
screw driven by an AC servo motor
either directly or by way of a toothed
belt.
The driven screw rotates and the nut
performs the required feed movement.
The maximum permissible axial forces
(buckling load) and maximum possible
linear speeds are frequently limited by
the length of the screw and the design
of the end bearings. Because of this,
the achievable nut speed falls far short
of its maximum permissible value (d x n).
Today, a screws operating speed
comes close to its critical whirling
speed, especially in high dynamic appli-
cations. This, combined with thermal
influences, makes it very difficult for
physical reasons to implement a high
dynamic machine concept. Positioning
accuracy may also be limited as a result.

Drive Units
The concept of the MHS 40 drive unit
goes one decisive step further.
In this model, the mode of operation
of a ball screw, i.e. its transformation
of a rotary movement into a linear
movement, has been redefined.
The nut is connected to the hollow-shaft
motor without any additional transmis-
sion elements. This is an ideal concept
for high dynamic applications and
makes maximum use of the dynamic
possibilities of the ball screw.
Vertical axis of a machining center:
driven by MHS 40 drive unit with
hollow-shaft motor
The screw of the ball screw assembly is
passed through the hollow rotor shaft of
the servo motor (hollow-shaft motor).
Transmission elements such as drive
belts or clutches are eliminated together
with their normally negative effects on
precision. Arranging the servomotor and
the ball screw on one axis helps to save
space.

Critical speed
Basic benefits of systems with
driven nuts
Mass moment of inertia
In long screws, only the nut has to be
set into rotation during the acceleration
phase, and not the screw. The mass
moment of inertia is therefore not a
determining factor. The ball nuts mass
moment of inertia is relatively small and
no longer depends on the specified
stroke.
Dynamics
Complex end bearing designs, e.g.
fixed bearings with angular contact ball
bearings at both ends, are no longer
required to achieve high dynamics.
Stretching
Since screw is stationary, it can be
stretched with relatively little effort:
Higher permissible axial load
(buckling load); not limited by end
bearings
Compensation of thermal influences
Higher total rigidity
Liquid cooling
Improved cooling can be easily accom-
plished by selecting a hollow screw.
Since the screw is stationary, it can be
cooled with relatively little design effort.
With a controlled cooling system, length
variations due to temperature fluctua-
tions can be virtually eliminated.
Design and manufacturing tolerances
The use of nuts with high parallelism and
radial runout accuracy reduces whipping
of the screw to a minimum. All functional
elements come from a single source, so
there is no need for customer-built de-
signs.
Dimensioning
FAR and MHS drive units are sized
according to the same general
criteria as ball screw assemblies:
Service life calculation
The service life calculation of the drive
unit is done analogous to the classic
screw thread drive. The average revo-
lution and average load are calculated
in this way.
When dealing with a complete unit, one
must use the lowest basic load rating of
the nut or bearing for the calculation.
Calculation of the permissible drive
torque
The maximum permissible drive torque
at the motor journal or the hollow-shaft
is expressed in formulas and shown in
charts, giving a clear indication of the
various factors involved. For each ball
screw size and length, the classic Euler
buckling load of the screw is shown, as
well as the respective end fixity and the
specific drive journal used along with
the load forces.
Permissible speed and critical speed
The permissible speeds of the screw
thread drive are influenced by different
factors:
Screw lead
Maximum permissible nut speed per
minute (d x n value)
Permissible speed of the end
bearings
Length-dependent critical speed of
the screw, although this is no longer
a genuine restriction in the version
with driven nut and fixed-fixed end
fixity.
The only significant limitations are
when the screw is fixed at one end
only. The position of the nut is
important in this case, as shown in
the charts on the following pages.
A calculation example that shows the
interplay of all chosen components for
an application example can be found in
the Calculation and Examples section.

Critical speed for driven screw:
For the driven, rotating screw, the
critical speed depends on the type
of end fixity:
I fixed-fixed, II fixed-floating, IV fixed-free,
and very rare III floating-floating.
For systems with a driven screw the
critical speed often restricts the achiev-
able linear speed. When horizontally
mounted, the rotating screw itself can
generate oscillations in the system as
a result of its deflection or any imbal-
ances. Depending on the free screw
length and the speed, the oscillations
can reach resonance level or very high
amplitudes (whipping), which destroy
the system. For this reason, the screw
is generally sized so that its maximum
operating speed will be 20% below the
critical speed.
For systems with a driven nut and
stationary screw, auto-excitation of
screw can be completely eliminated
by appropriate constructions. The only
remaining factors that can cause oscil-
lation are the manufacturing accuracy
of the rotating nut and the machine
configuration.
Since the FAR and MHS drive units use
only ball nuts with highly accurate paral-
lelism and radial runout, any negative
influence on the total system emanating
from the ball nut can therefore be ruled
out.
The critical speed is no longer a restric-
tion. The maximum linear speed is only
limited by the maximum rotary speed of
the bearings used and, in rarer cases,
the high maximum permissible speed
(d x n value) of the ball nut.

The charts shown here clearly illustrate
the benefits of the driven nut over a
conventional ball screw with a driven
screw for a size 50x40Rx6.5 unit.
For the driven screw (top chart), the
maximum linear speed for a ball nut
favorably positioned in the middle of
the screw is approx. 60 m/min. How-
ever, this speed is only achieved at
one point in the stroke. When the nut
is positioned anywhere else along the
screw, only approx. 20 m/min can be
achieved (see chart on page 11). To
achieve a higher speed, the screw
would have to be supported. As a
result, the high rotary speed (d x n
value) of the ball nut cannot be fully
exploited in practice.
Driven nut
With a driven nut (bottom chart, fixity I
fixed-fixed), on the other hand, the max-
imum linear speed of the drive unit is
108 m/min and is permissible at any
position of the ball nut along the entire
stroke.
For fixity II fixed-floating, the floating
bearing (allowing axial displacement)
can be designed so that the deflection
line is tangential (deflection angle at the
bearing point = 0). When this is done, a
floating bearing can be considered as a
fixed bearing in the calculation.

Critical speed for a rotating ball nut
and screw fixity IV fixed-free
For systems with a driven nut and fixity
fixed-free, the screw can only be sized
for short strokes in practice. To give an
extreme example, the dead weight of a
54x40 screw with a length of 5000 mm
would cause an extreme deflection in
the static state of approx. 180 mm.
Even much smaller deflections and the
resulting forces on the ball nut have to
be reliably avoided by appropriate
design measures.
In this case, even in the FAR and MHS
models the critical speed can be taken
as the limit when the ball nut is in an
unfavorable position at the end fixity
(see chart at right). According to the
chart, the maximum theoretical value is
28 m/min, but this cannot be used
because of the deflection. For practical
applications, the screw length must
therefore be limited.

Basic principles
To utilize the full performance capability
of a system with a driven nut, the screw
should be fixed at both ends (end fixity:
fixed-fixed). Stretching the screw has
the following positive effects on the
overall system:
Improves the rigidity, since the elas-
ticity of the screw end bearings has
been eliminated.
Compensation of thermal influences
to avoid axial loads in the screw,
thus reducing the danger of buckling.
However, the change in length and
tensioning of the screw resulting from
the stretching must be kept within a
limit that is acceptable for the overall
system. Otherwise, elastic deformation
could result in excessive lead deviations
between the ball nut and the screw,
having a negative effect on the service
life.
If the screw is cooled by convection,
a temperature difference of max. 10C
can be compensated for by stretching.
For higher temperature differences,
water cooling is necessary.

Tensile stress
For practical applications, the screw
must be stretched so that resulting
tensile stress is higher than the tem-
perature-induced compressive stress.
At the same time, the permissible
tensile stress must not be exceeded.

Stretching causes the screw to elon-
gate, which changes the screw and
thread geometry. The extent of elon-

The AOK series drive units are read-
ily available economical drive solu-
tions of compact design.
They combine all the performance
characteristics of a classic ball screw
drive in one unit.
When paired with Rexroth linear
guides, they offer machine designers
full design freedom for every appli-
cation.
The AOK drive unit is the
classic ball screw assembly
with pillow blocks and pre-
assembled ball nut enclosure.
The drive itself can be sup-
plied along with the unit, if so
requested by the customer.
AOK Drive Units
Optimal performance and
high load ratings
Rapid mounting and easy alignment due
to the machined reference edges on the
ball nut enclosure and the pillow block
High linear speed thanks
to double floating bearings
Supporting frames can be easily and
rapidly built using our proven aluminum
profile construction kit. Please refer to
catalog Basic Mechanical Elements
(MGE 3 842 529 114).
AOK Drive Units
Dimensioning the AOK
AOK drive units are sized according
to the same criteria as for ball screw
assemblies:
The service life of the drive unit is cal-
culated in a similar way as for a classic
ball screw drive. The average speed
and average load are calculated for this
purpose (see the Calculations sec-
tion). When dealing with a complete
unit, the lowest basic load rating of the
nut or bearing must be used for the
calculation. The corresponding data is
listed in the table opposite (top right).
Permissible speed
The permissible speed of the ball screw
is influenced by different factors:
Screw lead
Maximum permissible nut speed
(d x n value)
bearings
the screw due to screw deflection
The permissible speeds as a function of
the drive unit length are shown in charts;
see page 44. These charts make it easy
to estimate the attainable speeds.
Calculation of the permissible drive
torque
at the motor journal is shown in charts
giving a clear indication of the various
factors involved; see page 46.
The classic Euler buckling load of the
screw is shown for each ball screw size
and length, as well as the respective
bearing configuration and the specific
drive journal used along with the side
drive timing belt.
Friction torques, mass moments of
inertia and moved masses can be
found in the corresponding tables on
the following pages.

Further suitable ball nut types, e.g.
flanged single nuts, can be found in the
main Precision Ball Screw Assemblies
catalog R310EN 3301. The many com-
binations available can also be used in
the drive units, but the units would be
delivered unassembled. Please consult
us.
For calculation purposes, the lowest
load rating of the ball nut or bearing
must be used in these cases.
AOK drive units are mounted with the
MGA-Z ball nut enclosure and supplied
with all attachments; see Inquiries and
Orders.

The AGK series drive units are read-
ily available economical drive solu-
tions of compact design.
Maximum linear speed, protection
from environmental influences and
reliable operation are all optimally
combined into one unit. When paired
with Rexroth linear guides, they offer
machine designers full design free-
dom for every application.
Product Overview, AGK
For further information on mounting,
see Instructions R310D0 3372.
The AGK drive unit is addition-
ally provided with an enclosure
and sealing strip.
Optional traveling screw sup-
ports allow maximum speeds
even over long strokes.
AGK Drive Units
Depending on the application require-
ments, the ball nut enclosure can also
be at the side instead of the top.
Interesting combinations with the rail
guides are also possible.
The table is supported symmetrically on
two rail guides with four runner blocks.
The ball nut enclosure is located at the
top. The sealing strip ensures extensive
protection of the unit.
The optional traveling screw supports
allow very high linear speeds even over
long strokes.
Motor attachments can be moved
around to serve functionality or for
space-saving.
Supporting frames can be easily and
rapidly built using our proven aluminum
profile construction kit. Please refer to
catalog Basic Mechanical Elements
(MGE 3 842 529 114).
Application examples
AGK Drive Units
Patented screw support
The patented screw support elegant-
ly solves the problem of the critical
speed in horizontal ball screw appli-
cations.
If the screw is not supported, a longer
stroke normally means a reduction in
the critical speed and hence the per-
missible linear speed, corresponding
to the square of the added length.
Ball screws normally exhibit physical
limitations in applications where high
speeds are necessary to achieve
shorter machine cycle times. These
limits can be extended with suitable
supports for the rotating screw. Up to
now, however, it was the responsibility
of the customer to implement these
designs.
With this product, Rexroth offers a
solution that truly deserves the name
Drive Unit because all of the design
details of this system have been engi-
neered and implemented as elements
in a modular structure.
Easy motor attachment due
to locating feature and
fastening screw thread
Product Overview, AGK
Traveling screw supports for maximum
linear speeds in horizontal operation
Optimum sealing with steel or
polyurethane sealing strip
Fixed bearing with 60 angular-
contact thrust ball bearing for
maximum load ratings
The screw support motion is triggered
by the movement of the nut along the
screw. Screw supports are used in
pairs. Depending on the application,
one, two or three pairs may be neces-
sary. When the nut moves out of the
central position, the screw supports are
pushed together in the corresponding
direction and simultaneously located in
predetermined positions behind the nut.
Even when the nut is located at the end
of its stroke, the screw will be support-
ed radially at several points.
Since the unsupported length between
two screw supports is relatively short,
the critical speed can be very effectively
increased. As a result, real restrictions
of the maximum possible linear speed
are practically eliminated.
In vertical operation, a further benefit is
offered by the pillow blocks. The float-
ing bearings in the pillow blocks contain
two deep-groove ball bearings which, in
terms of the critical speed, act almost
like a fixed bearing but without exerting
any substantial stretching forces on the
screw or the machine.
AGK Drive Units
Optimum performance, high load ratings, high
positioning and repeatability accuracy due to
preloaded Rexroth precision ball nuts for
demanding positioning applications
Overall length of the AGK drive
unit is easily adjustable and
depends on the stroke length
desired
Rapid mounting and easy alignment
due to the machined edges on the
pillow block units
High velocities due to
double floating bearings
AGK Drive Units
Dimensioning the AGK
AGK drive units are sized according
to the same criteria as for ball screw
assemblies:
The service life of the drive unit is cal-
culated in a similar way as for a classic
ball screw drive. The average speed
and average load are calculated for this
purpose (see the Calculations sec-
tion). When dealing with a complete
unit, the lowest basic load rating of the
nut or bearing must be used for the
calculation. The corresponding data
is listed in the table opposite.
Permissible speed
The permissible speed of the ball screw
is influenced by different factors:
Screw lead
Maximum permissible nut speed
(d x n value)
bearings
the screw due to screw deflection.
By using screw supports for longer
lengths, it is possible to increase the
critical speed because the screw
supports function like additional
floating bearing.
The permissible speeds as a function
of the drive unit length and the number
of screw supports are shown in charts
(see page 70). These charts make it
easy to estimate the attainable speeds.
It should be noted that screw supports
are only used in horizontal applications.
Permissible drive torque
at the motor journal is shown in charts
giving a clear indication of the various
factors involved, as can be seen in the
charts section (see page 72).
The classic Euler buckling load of the
screw is shown for each ball screw size
and length, as well as the respective
bearing configuration and the specific
drive journal used along with the side
drive timing belt.
Vertical mounting
In vertical applications, screw supports
cannot be used because of the system
design. So, the permissible linear
speeds and drive torques indicated in
the table without screw supports are
valid for these applications.
Friction torques, mass moments of
inertia and moved masses can be
found in the corresponding tables on
the following pages.

Load-carrying capacities and
service life
We calculate load-carrying capacities
and service life in accordance with
DIN 69 051, Part 4 and ISO 3408-4
(P5).
Basic static load rating C
0
The static load rating is an axial, con-
centrically acting force that induces a
permanent deformation of 0.0001 x the
ball diameter between the ball and the
ball raceway.
Basic dynamic load rating C
The dynamic load rating is an axial,
concentrically acting force of constant
magnitude and direction under which
90% of a sufficiently large amount of
identical ball screws can achieve a
nominal service life of one million
revolutions.
Service life
The nominal life is expressed by the
number of revolutions (or number of
operating hours at constant speed) that
will be attained or exceeded by 90% of
a representative sample of identical ball
screws before the first signs of material
fatigue become evident. The nominal life
is designated as L or L
h
, depending on
whether it is specified in revolutions or
hours.
Selection criteria for ball
screws
The following factors should be
considered when selecting the ball
screw for a given application:
degree of accuracy required
(lead deviation)
in-service load conditions
service life
critical speed
buckling load
rigidity/permissible clearance
or desired preload
characteristic speed (max.
permissible linear speed)
The following points should be taken
into consideration when selecting a ball
screw assembly that is to be both cost-
efficient and optimally designed:
The lead is a decisive factor for the
load-carrying capacity (depending on
the maximum possible ball diameter)
and the drive torque.
The calculation of the service life
should be based on average loads
and average speeds, not on maxi-
mum values.
In order for us to provide you with
a customized solution, installation
drawings or sketches of the nut
environment should be enclosed
with your inquiry.
Technical Notes
on the Ball Screws used
DIN 69 051, Part 1 defines a
ball screw as follows:
An assembly comprising a ball screw
shaft and a ball nut and which is cap-
able of converting rotary motion into
linear motion and vice versa. The rolling
elements of the assembly are balls.
Safety information
We recommend that a safety nut
be installed for particularly critical
applications in vertical set-ups.
Please ask.
Note:
Radial and eccentric forces relative to
the screw must be avoided as they have
a negative effect on the life and proper
function of the ball screw. Where spe-
cial conditions of operation are involved,
please ask.

Sealing
Ball screws are precision assemblies
that require protection against con-
tamination. Flat protective covers and
bellows type dust boots are particular-
ly suitable for this purpose. With its
enclosed design and integral sealing
strip, the drive unit AGK offers suffi-
cient protection for many applications.
In addition, we have developed a gap-
less lip-type seal which ensures an
optimal sealing effect and maintains
high efficiency due to the low friction
level. Our ball screws are therefore
supplied with seals in their standard
versions. At the customers request,
these seals can be omitted or special
seals used in their place. A reinforced
version of the standard seal has been
developed for those applications where
heavy contamination of the screw ap-
pears inevitable. The sealing effect has
been improved further by increasing the
preload. What must be borne in mind is
the significantly higher friction torque in
comparison with the standard friction
torque (see page 94) and the associ-
ated increased heat build-up. The re-
inforced seal can be easily recognized
externally by its dark green color.

Short stroke
During a short stroke, the ball does not
make a real turn. It is therefore impos-
sible for an adequate lubricating film
to form. This may result in premature
wear. In the chart, the minimum requir-
ed stroke (travel) for a 10% lower load
rating is shown as a function of the
number of turns and lead of the nut.
Hence the most favorable range lies
above each curve. It may help to have
occasional longer strokes, which are
performed with simultaneous relubri-
cation as lubricating strokes. If in
doubt, please ask.
Permissible operating
temperatures
Ball screws are suitable for continuous
operation at temperatures up to 80C
with temporary peaks of 100C (meas-
urements taken on the outer shell of the
nut).
Material, hardness
Our standard ball screw assemblies
are made of high-quality, heat-treatable
steel, carbon chrome alloy steels or
case-hardened steels. The screw and
nut raceways have a minimum Rockwell
hardness of HRC 60. Normally, the
screw ends remain unhardened.

Preload and Rigidity
In addition to single nuts with reduced
backlash, Rexroth supplies nut systems
preloaded by means of optimized ball
size selection.
Preloaded single nut in the AOK and
AGK models
In the AOK model single nuts can be
preloaded to 2%, 3% or 5% of the
basic dynamic load rating by means of
optimized ball size selection. In the AGK
model, the single nut can be preloaded
to 2%.
Nut system preload Driven nut in the FAR and MHS
models
Like any single nut, the driven nut can
be preloaded to 2% or 5% of the basic
dynamic load rating by means of ball
size selection.
Rigidity of drive units
The rigidity of a drive unit is influenced
by all adjoining parts such as bearings,
housing bores, ball nut enclosures etc.
The tables opposite show pre-calculat-
ed values. In addition, the rigidity of the
screw must be taken into account.
Please note that in most cases the rigid-
ity R
S
of the screw will be significantly
lower than the rigidity R
G
of the nut unit.
Rigidity in the area of the nut unit R
G
The rigidity in the area of the preload-
ed nut unit is calculated according to
DIN 69 051 (P5). In drive units, R
G
includes the additional rigidity of the
ball screw enclosure in versions with
a driven screw, and of the nut bearing
in versions with a driven nut.
See the corresponding tables for rigidity
values.

Dynamic drag torque of

Please bear in mind the
following when modifying
and retrofitting the seals:
All precision screws SN-F and the
precision-rolled screws SN-R with small
leads are designed as single (Fig. 1).
There is therefore only one ball track
on the screw.
However, precision-rolled screws SN-R
with higher leads are designed as
double or quadruple (Figs. 2 and 3).
The sealing geometry here is therefore
different from that for the precision
screws SN-F. The distinction is made
clear by the part number on the com-
ponent.
Special seals for precision-rolled
screws SN-R are available as an
option.
Reinforced seals are identified by their
opal-green color and their part number.
Low-friction seals for precision-rolled
screws SN-R are available upon re-
quest. This version is currently in prep-
aration. The seals are identified by their
red-brown color and their part number.

Inserting the seal
Position the nut on the screw as illus-
trated in the diagram. Insert the seal so
that its projection is in the recess and
press it in until it snaps into the groove.
While turning the nut on the screw,
watch the sealing lip carefully and
straighten it if necessary by applying
pressure to the exposed face. Ensure
that the lip is not damaged.

Grease lubrication
The advantage of grease lubrication
is that the ball screw can run long dis-
tances on one supply of grease. As
a result, a lubricating system is not
required in many cases. The amount
of grease used should fill the nuts to
approximately half of their capacity.
All commercially available high-quality
ball bearing lubricating greases may
be used. Read the lubricant manufac-
turers specifications carefully! Never
use greases with solid lubricant com-
ponents (e.g. graphite or MoS
2
).
For relubrication, grease cartridges
Oil lubrication for AOK/AGK
only (not for FAR and MHS)
The influence of the temperature on the
performance of the ball screw is very
significant, as the thermal expansion of
the ball screw interferes with the posi-
tioning accuracy of the assembly.
One of the advantages of oil lubrication
over grease lubrication is therefore the
minimized heat build-up of the ball
screw, particularly at high speeds.
As a rule, commercially available mineral
base oils used for ball bearings are suit-
able. The necessary viscosity depends
on the speed, temperature and load
conditions of the respective application
(see DIN 51501, 51517, 51519 and
GfT Worksheet 3).
Oils ranging from ISO VG 68 to approx.
ISO VG 460 are used in practice. The
high viscosity grades (e.g. ISO VG 460)
should be preferred in general and par-
ticularly for slow running screws.
A maximum relubrication interval of up to
10 operating hours can be attained with
small quantities from the adjacent table.
Please ask for details for driven nuts!
Standard lubrication practices for ball
bearings also apply to ball screws.
Lubricant loss is, however, greater than
that from conventional ball bearings,
for instance, due to the axial motion
between the screw and the nut.
containing Dynalub 510 and 520 are
available from Rexroth.
Greases in accordance with DIN 51825
K2K and, for higher loads, KP2K of NLGI
Class 2 in accordance with DIN 51818
are recommended for the longest pos-
sible lubrication intervals. Tests have
shown that greases of NLGI Class 00
achieve only about 50% of the running
performance of Class 2 at higher loads.
The lubrication interval depends on many
factors such as the degree of contamin-
ation, operating temperature, load, etc.
The following values can thus serve only
as a guide.
G Dynalub 510
Dynalub 510 is a NLGI Category 2 lithium-
based high-performance grease specially
developed for linear motion systems. It is
notable for offering excellent water resis-
tance and protection against corrosion,
and is suitable for use at temperatures of
between 20C and +80C.
Applications
Under conventional environmental con-
ditions this ground-fiber, homogeneous
grease is ideally suitable for the lubrica-
tion of linear elements:

Technical Notes
Lubrication
For NLGI 2 greases:
Use double the amount of the
relubrication quantity for initial
lubrication. The nut has to be
lubricated with lubricant via the
lube port before the ball screw
is started.

MHS for NGLI 2 greases
Relubrication quantities for driven nut
FAR for NGLI 2 greases
The driven nut can be relubricated with
grease via the outer race of the angular
contact thrust ball bearing. The nut can
be at any position along the screw. The
only precaution required is to make sure
that the nut is at a standstill when apply-
ing the lubricant. This effectively solves
the problem of a rotating lube port on
the nut itself.
Two lube ports (M6) with radial or axial
access points are provided. These ports
are closed by set screws for shipment.
The selected lube port can be opened
simply by removing the set screw.
Lubrication of the end bearings
For regreasing, the quantities stated in
the table below can be applied via the
lube ports provided on the bearings.
As a rule, the initial grease quantity will
therefore last for the entire service life
of a ball screw assembly.

Rough dimensioning of the
FAR drive
The following calculation formulas assist
in determining the drive motor for the
FAR drive unit. Accurate layout infor-
mation is essential, as the motor choice
is dependent on the mounting position,
the applied loads and the guides
used. For an exact calculation of the
drive motors, see RE 82 710 and

A drive unit is to be selected and
calculated for the table drive of
a machine tool. The table weighs
300 kg. The frictional drag of the
guides has already been factored
in to the machining forces. The cus-
tomer uses a side drive timing belt
and motor of his own design. The
weight of the side drive timing belt
is m

Checking the linear speed
The rapid approach speed of 100 m/min
can be attained by the drive unit FAR
50x40Rx6.5-3. The maximum permissi-
ble linear speed of 108 m/mm will not
be exceeded (see table on page 13).
Since the end fixity is fixed-fixed, no
further limitation of the linear speed is
necessary.
The chosen drive unit meets the require-
ments and the calculation can be con-
tinued.

Required service life L

The life L can be calculated by

The life of the selected ball screw is
thus greater than the required service
life of 20,000 hours (including operating
hours).
Result and selection
At 44,601 N, the calculated required
load rating of the drive unit is smaller
than the given load rating C=46,500 N
for the size 50x40. The dimensioning of
the drive unit therefore meets the ser-
vice life requirement.
