When installing, ensure that the coaxiality of the screw is ≤0.03mm, the straightness is ≤0.02mm/m, and the parallelism between the screw and the guide rail is ≤0.03mm/m to avoid precision loss caused by installation deviation. The installation torque should be uniform, and it is strictly forbidden to knock or collide with the nut to prevent damage to the internal ball and raceway. It is recommended to use precision tools such as dial indicators and torque wrenches for installation and adjustment.

- Lubrication Requirements: It is recommended to add high-temperature resistant lithium-based lubricating grease (such as SKF LGMT 2) every 400 hours of operation, and clean the raceway with a clean lint-free cloth before refueling to remove impurities and old lubricating grease. It is strictly forbidden to use incompatible lubricants to avoid damaging the sealing mechanism and internal components. After installation, inject an appropriate amount of lubricating grease immediately to protect the raceway and balls from wear.

- Regular Inspection & Maintenance: Conduct a comprehensive inspection every 10 days, focusing on checking the wear of the ball and raceway, the integrity of the sealing ring, the tightness of the installation bolt and the lubrication status.

The core difference lies in the CNC-oriented optimization: this product adopts CNC-specific raceway design and precision control, which is more suitable for the high-frequency, high-speed and intermittent working characteristics of CNC equipment, with better positioning stability and load-bearing performance. The material selection and heat treatment process are also optimized for CNC processing scenarios, with higher wear resistance and service life. Ordinary C5 grade ball screw nuts are more suitable for general mechanical transmission, and cannot fully adapt to the harsh working conditions of CNC equipment.

- Can this product be used for high-speed CNC processing? Yes. The product is optimized for high-speed transmission, with a maximum allowable operating speed of 1200r/min, and the temperature rise is controlled within 20℃ when the feed speed is 30-80m/min, which can fully meet the high-speed processing needs of most CNC machine tools. For ultra-high-speed CNC processing scenarios (feed speed >80m/min), we can provide customized optimization services to ensure stable operation and precision.

- How to solve the problem of increased noise during long-term use? The main reasons for increased noise are insufficient lubrication, impurity entry, ball wear or installation deviation. First, check the lubrication status and add special lubricating grease if necessary; then clean the raceway to remove impurities; check the installation parallelism and coaxiality, and adjust and fix it if there is deviation; if the ball is severely worn, it is recommended to replace the nut in time. Regular maintenance can effectively reduce the occurrence of noise problems.

- What is the minimum order quantity for customized products? How to shorten the customization cycle? There is no minimum order quantity for customized products, and we support small-batch customized orders with a minimum order quantity of 1 piece.
