About Shuton Precision Ball Screws
Shuton Precision Ball Screws Shuton is a leading company in the design and manufacture of high performance ball screws located in the Country, central focus and leader of the machine tool industry.
SHUTON preloaded compact nut ball screws offer many advantages: - Better alignment and concentricity of the whole nut with the screw.
- Reduced nut length, thus less mass.
- Elimination of the bearing holder parts in rotary nut designs.
- Possibility of special designs, with compact nut-carrying bodies.
The preload is obtained by changing the lead of the thread in one single middle groove of the nut by means of CNC grinding. In this way, the nut of these ball screws consists of a single piece.
PRIME preloaded compact nut ball screw is designed with internal ball recirculation system 'S'. This is the normal recirculation for shorter leads. Each ball circuit is independent, and has its own S-shaped deflector.
The nut in double nut ball screws is comprised of two parts separated by a washer, the thickness of which determines the preload force.
At SHUTON these two parts are embedded, in order to eliminate potential radial displacement and improve the alignment and concentricity of both parts.
Double nut ball screw maintenance is very rapid, as it does not need to be dismounted from the machine.
COMPLEX double nut ball screw is designed with U external ball recirculation system, normally used for short lead Ph<20. Ball return is done via a recirculating tube assisted solely by two shaped deflectors.

FAQs of Shuton Precision Ball Screws:
Q: How do I select the right preload type for my application using Shuton Precision Ball Screws?
A: Preload selection depends on your rigidity and backlash requirements. Light preload suits low-load, high-speed operations, while medium and heavy preloads are ideal for applications demanding higher stiffness and minimum backlash, such as precision CNC machinery and robotics.
Q: What is the minimum achievable backlash in Shuton Precision Ball Screws, and why is it beneficial?
A: Shuton Precision Ball Screws offer backlash less than 0.005 mm, which ensures exceptional positional accuracy. This ultralow backlash is crucial for precision-driven environments like CNC machines and automation systems where repeatability is essential.
Q: Which lubrication methods can be used, and how does it affect performance?
A: Both grease and oil lubrication are suitable for Shuton Ball Screws. Proper lubrication minimizes wear, enhances lifespan, and promotes smoother operation, especially under high-speed or load-intensive conditions. Choose the method based on your applications maintenance schedule and environmental factors.
Q: Where can these ball screws be used, considering their construction and accuracy?
A: With their versatile mounting (flange/threaded), nut types, and robust, ground alloy steel build, Shuton Ball Screws are perfect for CNC machines, automation lines, robotic arms, and precision machine tools, particularly when high reliability and accuracy are critical.
Q: What is the process for customizing stroke length, bore size, or load rating?
A: To customize stroke length (up to 6000 mm), bore size, or load ratings, consult your distributor or supplier with your applications dimensional and performance requirements. Shuton offers a wide range of modifications to ensure compatibility and optimal load capacity.
Q: When should different seal types be considered for ball screw selection?
A: Labyrinth seals are best for environments with moderate contamination, while wiper seals should be used where debris, fine particles, or coolant exposure are concerns. Selecting the appropriate seal type helps extend operational life and reduces maintenance.
Q: What are the main advantages of using Shuton Precision Ball Screws in high-speed applications?
A: Thanks to their precision-ground components, hardened raceways, and robust dynamic load ratings, Shuton Ball Screws support limiting speeds up to 6000 rpm. This ensures reliable performance and precise motion control in demanding, high-speed automation and machining processes.
