Compact FA Series Ball Screw Features

NSK's Compact FA Series Ball Screw offers the following features:

Quick ship program for common sizes
Domestic manufacturing and comprehensive stocking program ensure two-week delivery and reduced shipping costs.

Reduced noise output
The noise level of the Compact FA has been reduced by 6 dB, about half of what is sensed by the ear. Ball screws subsequently produce a quieter and gentler sound. Below is a comparison of noise output between the Compact FA and standard ball screws.

 

10%–30% more compact ball nut
The outside diameter of the ball nut is as much as 30% smaller than those of conventional NSK products. This contributes to a more compact design for all sorts of equipment and devices such as thinner XY tables.

High-speed operation of up to 5000 min-1
The new ball screws offer 1.6 times faster rotational speed than conventional ball screws. They handle speeds up to 5000 min-1. This  capability dramatically expands the range of service conditions. Note: Please refer to the dimension table for details of permissible rotational speed.

New type of contact seal
A new high-performance contact seal minimizes grease dispersion and helps to maintain a clean work environment.

Extended product life
K1™ Lubrication Units, in combination with minimal grease, offer increased product life and maintenance-free operation. K1™  Lubrication Units are particularly useful in applications where lubrication is difficult to apply or is a source of contamination. The K1™ Lubrication Unit is optional on the Compact FA series and is not available with a two-week lead time. Click here for more information on K1™ Lubrication Units.

Grease fitting provided as standard equipment
The new ball screws are equipped with a grease fitting (M5 × 0.8). Lubrication ports are provided in two locations to facilitate maintenance. The ball screws can be easily connected to an integrated lubrication system.
*Grease fitting provided on the flange OD when equipped with K1™.

Low-profile design
The low-profile support units specifically compatible with the Compact FA series are available for a uniquely space-saving design.
