Lubrication reduces frictional resistance
During operation, ball screw splines will experience continuous contact friction between the ball, spiral groove and spline teeth.
Proper lubrication can form an oil film on the metal surfaces, reduce direct contact and reduce frictional resistance.
Reducing friction can make equipment run smoother, reduce the driving load and improve transmission efficiency.
Good lubrication is particularly important for high-speed automation equipment.
Lubrication can improve operation precision
Ball screw splines is a high precision transmission element.
Insufficient lubrication can increase friction, lead to vibration, creep and instability of movement, thus affecting positioning accuracy.
Stable lubrication can make ball circulation smoother, reduce the movement error and improve the repeatability of the equipment.
Therefore, lubrication quality directly affects the transmission accuracy of ball screw splines.
Lubrication can reduce part wear
Metal parts in long-term process of Continuous friction, it is easy to lead to surface wear.
Especially in the spline tooth surface and spherical groove area, if not lubricated, the wear rate will be greatly increased.
Lubricating oil or grease reduces direct contact betweenmetal and metal, thereby reducing:Ball wear
- Spline wear
- Screw groove damage
- Surface fatigue
