The defining feature of the Support Unit Fixed and Supported Side from Maitu factory is its ability to constrain movement in both the axial and radial directions. It typically incorporates a matched pair of angular contact bearings or a deep groove ball bearing combined with a thrust bearing, which together firmly absorb both radial loads and thrust loads from the screw. This configuration is engineered to provide rigid axial fixation, making it an indispensable component for applications requiring high-precision positioning and the transmission of significant bi-directional thrust forces.
Conversely, the Support Unit Fixed and Supported Side is characterized by its capacity to permit axial float while providing radial support. It usually employs a single deep groove ball bearing or a radial bushling, which allows the screw shaft to expand or contract freely in the axial direction due to thermal changes. This specific design is critical for compensating for thermal elongation in long screw assemblies, preventing dangerous internal stresses, binding, and potential system failure.
However, the selection between a fixed and a supported side is not merely a choice but a systematic design decision. An incorrect configuration can lead to reduced accuracy, excessive noise, and premature bearing failure. Thus, the proper pairing and precise alignment of these units are as critical as the screw itself for the integrity of the entire motion system.
We are interested in providing integrated screw and support unit solutions. Our Support Unit Fixed and Supported Side are engineered to match the specifications of our trapezoidal and ACME screws.

We don’t just sell parts; we provide integrated motion solutions. Our fixed and supported units are engineered to perfectly match our trapezoidal and ACME screw specifications, eliminating alignment errors and ensuring the structural integrity of your entire transmission system.
Our "Supported Side" units are specifically designed to permit axial float. By allowing the screw shaft to expand or contract freely under temperature fluctuations, our design prevents internal stresses and binding, which are the leading causes of premature system failure in long screw assemblies.
For precision positioning, our "Fixed Side" units incorporate high-grade angular contact bearings. This configuration provides superior axial and radial constraint, absorbing significant bi-directional thrust forces to maintain pinpoint accuracy even under heavy-duty industrial loads.
With a legacy originating from Shanghai Yingqi and a decade of independent manufacturing in Suzhou, Maitu brings deep domain experience. Our ISO 9001 certified facility uses a self-developed ERP system to monitor every stage of production, ensuring that every support unit meets rigorous industrial tolerances.
With over 80,000 units delivered to global customers, we offer a proven track record. Whether you need standard carbon steel or specialized materials like stainless steel or bronze, our team of 10 engineers can customize the support unit to fit your specific environmental and mechanical requirements.
A standard high-precision setup requires one Fixed Side (to lock the screw axially and handle thrust loads) and one Supported Side (to provide radial support while allowing for thermal expansion). Our engineering team can help you determine the specific bearing configuration (e.g., angular contact vs. deep groove) based on your load direction and speed requirements.
Yes. We specialize in integrated solutions. Our support units are specifically machined to match the end-journal dimensions of our 30° Trapezoidal and 29° ACME screws. This ensures a seamless fit, reducing vibration and noise during high-speed operation.
We utilize strict quality control procedures, including precise housing bore grinding and the selection of high-carbon chromium bearing steel. Our units are assembled in controlled environments to prevent contamination, ensuring that the lubricant and seals provide maintenance-free performance for extended intervals.
Absolutely. While we offer a wide range of standard specifications, our factory is equipped with CNC lathes and high-precision machining centers to handle customized designs. We can manufacture units using various materials—including stainless steel for corrosive environments—based on your specific drawings and technical notes.
