New Antibacklash nut design for rolled Acme screws
The new XCT and XCF rolled screw nut designs use a revolutionary Cross Cam design called the Active Cam to eliminate backlash and maintain a high axial stiffness
Using a ground screw format the carbuerised steel ball screw is supplied complete with journal ends machined to suit standard radial block bearings.
A standard a 6mm diameter nut body is used to house the 0.4mm diameter ball bearings, which are captivated in a recirculating ball nut design.
Remarkably, the new product range offers a C3-05 accuracy grade (ie 0.005mm axial play).
Fixing the nut to the application is made simple by a range of flange sizes.
Chris Cattle, sales and marketing manager with Abssac says, "This new range is ideally suited to optical devises or miniaturised positioning equipment.
We required a range of miniature ball screws to supply the demand, as manufacturing designs get smaller and demand more accuracy.
We can now offer a way of supplying what the designer has previously not been able to source". Request a free brochure from Abssac ...
