These reports include measured values, testing conditions, and performance evaluations, allowing customers to gain an intuitive and in-depth understanding of product quality and performance indicators.

Q: Does the mini mill ball screw need lubrication? How to maintain?

A: Must be lubricated! Suggestion: 1. Lubricate with grease (supplement with specialized grease every 100 km of operation); 2. Oil lubrication (ISO VG32 lubricating oil is used in high-speed situations). The maintenance cycle is 6 months or 500 hours of operation. When cleaning, use non-woven fabric and specialized cleaning agents. Do not use corrosive solvents such as acetone.

Q: What is the main difference between micro ball screws and ordinary screws?

A: The micro ball screw adopts a ball circulation structure with a low friction coefficient and higher transmission efficiency. Its repeated positioning accuracy can reach ± 0.003 mm, and the axial clearance can be controlled within 0.005 mm, making it particularly suitable for precision instruments and micro-automation equipment.
