The Super S series uses a return system that can absorb ball impact noise which greatly reduces the noise intensity and allows the ballscrew to sustain peak performance in rigorous environments. The modified return system improves the strength of the return structure which increases the Dm-N value and reduces the ball nut diameter by 18%-32%.

  • 5–7 dB

    Quieter than traditional return-tube series

  • 18–32%

    Reduction in ball nut diameter

  • 220,000

    Dm-N value with the strengthened return unit

Applications

  • CNC machinery
  • Industrial machinery
  • Electronic machinery
  • Precision machines
  • High-speed machinery

Nut configurations

In the nut code, F is the flange end, S single nut, D double nut and C the Super S cassette. Ground FSC and FDC nuts span 14–80 mm diameters and 5–50 mm leads; the rolled FSC single nut covers the same 14–80 mm range. End-machined stock screws with FSC nuts (grade C5) are cataloged in 16, 25 and 32 mm diameters.

Accuracy grades

Grades are set by lead variation over any 300 mm of travel. Super S precision ground screws run JIS C0 to C7; rolled versions C6 to C10.

  • C0 3.5 µm / 300 mm — Ground
  • C1 5 µm / 300 mm — Ground
  • C2 6 µm / 300 mm — Ground
  • C3 8 µm / 300 mm — Ground
  • C4 12 µm / 300 mm — Ground
  • C5 18 µm / 300 mm — Ground; the grade of the end-machined stock screws
  • C6 23 µm / 300 mm — Ground or rolled
  • C7 50 µm / 300 mm — Ground or rolled
  • C8 100 µm / 300 mm — Rolled
  • C10 210 µm / 300 mm — Rolled

Preload methods

Backlash is removed by an internal preload force; the best preload force stays below 5% of dynamic load C. Preload type codes: P compression · O offset.

  • — Double nut + spacer (nut type D) — Tension preload is the precision standard; the Super S FDC form
  • O Offset-pitch single nut — Compact single nut with high stiffness; not for heavy preloading
  • — Oversized-ball single nut — Light preload through four-point ball contact
