There are four common installation methods for ball screw fixing seats and support seats. Today, the editor will explain them to you clearly at one time.
When we use a ball screw, it must have this mounting seat. For example, this plate is our mounting plate. When installing the ball screw, it has two accessories, one is the fixed end, and the other is called the support end. Let’s see when and where these four should be used.
The first is fixed and free, which is often used for vertical installation and short strokes. Generally, we use it very little.
The second is support support. This can be used when the axial load requirements are not high and clearance is allowed. However, we generally use it very little in non-standard automation, unless it is something that needs to be manually cranked.
The third is fixed and supported. In automation, we often need servo motors to drive the screw seat for positioning. When doing stroke positioning, we generally use this type of fixed plus support.
The fourth type is fixed fixed, fixed fixed, this type is fixed at both ends, at this time, it has very high requirements for the axial rigidity, for example, when we are doing machine tools, such as fine carving, CNC, etc., we will use this kind of fixed seat installation method at both ends,
So the screw support seat is these four types, that is, you can use it according to your occasion. Generally, in automation, we often use a fixed end plus a support end, unless you have very high requirements for rigidity, you can use it, both ends are fixed ends.
