Series
1. T Series(Tube type : externalball circulation)
A tube is provided in the nut. Steel balls, rolling in the grooves between the shaft and nut, enter the tube and roll down. They then return to the groove between the shaft and nut. This series fits the widest variety of applications among the series, and is suitable for standard manufacture.The nut outer diameter is determined such that the components through which balls circulate (tube and holder) cannot move beyond the nut circumference.The nut outer diameter which is smaller then tube and holder position is also available on request. Deflectors are provided inside the nut. Steel balls, rolling
Deflectors are provided inside the nut. Steel balls, rolling in the grooves between the shaft and nut, move along the grooves of deflector. They then return to the groove between the shaft and nut, passing through the shaft groove rand. Since steel balls circulate inside the nut, the nut outer diametercan be small. The deflectors are placed at equally spaced on the nut outsidesurface, so the nut can retain good balance.
The L series is characterized by a large lead. Precise nut positioning is possible at high speed. They can be classified into the tube type and end cap type, according to the steel ball circulation system.
It is characterized by high speeds and clean and clear sounds through smooth rotation by making the rotation direction of the steel ball consistent with the lead angle. It is also possible to make the same rigidity of products with the internal circulation type and compact structure, which is 30% more compact than conventional products.
R series represent form rolling ball screw and the type use a tube type.Tube inserting method can be divided into 4 kinds including a dumping type where insert completely into nut outer diameter and a projecting type where project to outside

TIC Precision Ball Screw Specifications
High transfer efficency.
Ball screws, unlike slide screws, produce extremelylow friction. They achieve high transfer efficiency,while maintaining running torque at one-third that ofslide screws. Great thrust load can be obtained atsmall torque.
Figs. 2.1 and 2.2 show ball screw transfer efficiency.Ball screws convert rotary motion into linear motionin normal use, but can also be used to convertlinear motion into rotary motion(reverse action).
Fine travel capabilities.
The rolling contract of ball screws contributesextremely low starting friction. They do not produceany stick slip, to which slide screws are liable.Ball screws can be controlled precisely is a finetravel.
High rigidity with preload.
High rigidity can be achieved by using a preloadwith two nuts, or by using a preload with oversizeballs in single nut, which eliminates axial clearance.
Long service life.
Steel balls roll on heat-treated or hardened groovesis extremely low, and high precision can bemaintained over a long period of time.Service life can be estimated by calculation.
Easy maintenance.
Unlike slide screws, ball screws do not requirefrequent lubrication. Under normal operatingconditions, they operate satisfactorily with anoccasional supply of grease or lubrication oil.
High reliability
TIC precision ball Screws are highly reliable,produced at plants where temperature is strictlycontrolled. They are controlled under an integratedquality control system, which governs material,production equipment, production and inspection.

TIC Precision Ball Screw Specifications
TIC precision ball screw tolerances (class 5 and above) are established according to Japanese Industrial Standards(JIS).The lead tolerances are defined in Fig. 3.1.
Lead tolerances
Lead Precision Terms
1) Basic lead.
The lead used as basic.It is normally the same as the nominal lead. However, a modified value may intentionally be used depending on the purpose.
2) Cumulative basic lead(Cumulative lead target value).
The value obtained by deducting the cumulative lead of the effective threaded portion length from the basic lead(Cumulative nominal lead). To make relevant compensation in case of shaft elasticdeformation due to external loads or in case of deformation due to temperature variation, ball screws may be produced to a cumulative basic lead that may either be larger or smaller than the basic lead.
3) Cumulative actual lead.
The cumulative lead is obtained by measuring at an optionally selected cross section which includes the shaft axis.
4) Cumulative representative lead.
A straight line that represents the tendency of cumulative leads. This is obtained by approximating the cumulative actual lead curve by the method of least square or by similar approximation method.
5) Cumulative representative lead error.
The value obtained by deducting the cumulative basic lead from the cumulative representative lead.
6) Variation
The width of the cumulative actual lead variation. It is obtained by drawing two lines, one of which runs on the peak of the variation on the upper side of the cumulative actual lead curve, and the other, on the lower side of the curve. The two lines should be parallel to the representative lead line.
: Maximum width for the entire effective threaded portion length.
3 0 0 : Maximum width for a 300-mm range optionally designated in the effective threaded portion l e n g t h .
2 : Maximum width of difference between an actuallymeasured axial lead and the basic lead for an optionally designated rotation angle.The angle should be designated not to exceed one entire turn of the shaft.
Refernce
The cumulative lead error for general-purpose ballscrews C7 and C10 is determined solely depending ontolerances for a 300mm range optionally designatedwithin the effective threaded portion length.

Preload engineering and preload torque
Ball screws normally have a slight clearancebetween steel balls and groove surfaces. If noclearance is provided, backlash occurs due toelastic displacement caused by axial loads. Toprevent this, ball screws are preloaded, i.e., axialloads are applied, giving elastic displacement tosteel balls and groove surfaces and eliminating axialclearance, while enhancing rigidity.
1) Preloading systems
(a) Spacer preloading system A spacer is provided between two nuts, when preloading the ball screw. There are two methods in this s y s t e m .One is to provide a thick spacer between two nuts to apply an appropriate size of preload tothe ball screw(Fig. 3.3). This method is called tensile preload.
Fig. 3.3 Tensile Preload.
The other is to provide a thin spacer between two nuts to apply an appropriate size of preloadto the ball screw(Fig. 3.4). This method is called compression preload.
Fig. 3.4 Compression Preload
(b) Single-nut preloading system
This method uses a single nut to preload the ball screw. There are two methods. One method uses steel balls which are slightlylarger than the ball grooves, as shown in Fig.
3.5. The balls are in contact with the grooves between the nut and shaft at four points, whenpreload the ball screw. This method is called preload with oversize balls.
Fig. 3.5 Preload With Oversize Balls
In the second method, nut is grinded by shiftingthe screw lead at middle point, as shown in Fig. 3.6 to produce an appropriate preload.This is called integral preload .
Fig. 3.6 Integral Preload
(c) Constant preloading system
This system uses two nuts, between which a spring is provided, to give a specified size of preload to the ball screw. This system can keep torque variation low.

2) Effects of preload
The relationship between ball screw axial load and elastic displacement can be expressed as
( : constant), according to Hertz s theory.
Supposing that preload P is working on both nuts A and B as in Fig.3.8, axial displacement p
occurs on both, as shown in Fig.3.6.
If axial load Pa is exerted externally under these conditions, nut A axial displacement occurs. It can be expressed as follows:
A p a
Nut B axial displacement is expressed as follows: B p a
Therefore, the loads working on the respective nuts can be expressed as follows:
A p a a
B p a
If axial load Pa enlarges and external axial displacement on nut B( B) becomes zero eventually ( a b), A equals p.
Therefore, the following equations are established:
p • p and p • b
Based on these equations, b can be expressed as follows:
These equations show that, when an axial load isapproximately three times as large as the preload(load), axial displacement is p. This means that, compared with when no preload is given, the ball screw is twice as rigid.A preload is effective when the external axial load is approximately three times as large as the preload or less. It is recommended, therefore, to apply a preload that is approximately one-third the maximum axial load.
Fig.3.10 shows two curves of nut axial displacement, one without a preload, the other with a preload.

Life Ball screw life is expressed as a total number ofrotations the screw makes before flaking occurs onthe groove or steel ball surfaces due to rollingfathgue resulting from repeated stresses.In order to obtain the rated life of ball screws, theyare rotated in a group under the same conditions.The total number of rotations which 90% of ballscrews can make without flaking is called the ratedlife. The axial load under which the ball screw srated life is 10 6 times of rotation is called the basicdynamic load capacity ( ) .The basic dynamic load capacity values are given inthe Ball Screw Dimension Tables.
1) Estimation of lifeThe rated life is expressed in terms of the total number of rotations, the total rotations hours, and the total running distance. They can be calculated by equations 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5.

For smooth, impact-free rotation : 1 . 0 ~ 1 . 2For rotation under average conditions : 1 . 2 ~ 1 . 5For rotation with impact : 1 . 5 ~ 3 . 0
If loads and rotation speed vary, estimate life with anaverage load and average rotation speed. For howto obtain an average load and average rotationspeed, refer to the care of Precision Bearings.In case that axial load fluctuates and number ofrevolutions differs under each load, the average axialload and number of revolutions can be calculated bythe following equation for estimation of lifee x p e c t a n c y .
A required ball screw life is determined dependingon the equipment to which the screws are applied,as well as on rotation conditions.Table 4.1 shows average life required for ball screws:

2) Allowable load on grooves
To evaluate load conditions under a very low rotation speed or under a standstill condition, be sure that themaximum axial load is less than the basic static load c a p a c i t y .The basic static load capacity is an axial load at which the sum of permanent deformations at the contact between the shaft and balls and at the contact between the nut groove and steel balls is one ten thousandth the steel ball diameter that is confirmed free from problems under a given set of operating conditions.The basic static load capacity requirement can be calculated by equation 4.6.
W h e r e ,
: Basic static load capacity, : Maximum axial load, : Safety factorOperation under average condition : 1 ~ 2Operation under impact and vibration : 2 ~ 4
3) Influence of unbalanced loads
If ball screws are exposed to unbalanced loads(moment loads or radial loads), loads concentrate on a local part of the steel balls. This results in adverse effects on performance and may shorten ball screw life.Control installation precision extremely carefully.
Recommended installation precision control valueInclination error: 1/2 000 or lessMisalignment: 0.020 mm or less
Fig. 4.6 shows estimated life decrease when ball screws are exposed to moment loads.
4) Influence of hardness
If a ball screw has surface hardness below 58HRC, being made from special material, ball screw life may be lower. It should be calculated by correcting the standard dynamic load capacity value( ) and basic static load capacity value( ) .Correct the standard and with equations 4.7 and 4.8.

T Series
P recision Ball Screws T Series (Tube Ty pe )
The T series fits the widest variety of applications among all the
whole series. They are suitable for standard manufacture.
1) TF Type (Tube Type, Flange, Single-nut)
This type of ball screw has the simplest structure, provided with a
single nut. The flange shape can be selected from between round
(A) and notched (B). Select the most suitable depending on the
space and installation position.
TSF Type (No preload)
This ball screw has a little axial clearance.
YTF Type (Preloaded with Oversize Balls)
This ball screw is preloaded with balls that are slightly larger
than the groove dimension of the shaft and nut. The loading
balls and spacer balls are used at a 1-to-1 ratio.
This type of ball screw is suitable in applications where lightly
preloaded ball screws are required.
TFP Type (Integrally Preloaded)
This ball screw is preloaded by shifting the screw lead of nut
so as to produce an appropriate preload. This is the same
system as used in double-nut ball screws, though this ball
screw has a single nut.
This type of ball screw is suitable in applications where lightly
preloaded or medium preloaded ball screws are required.
2) TFN Type (Tube Type, Flange, Double-nut)
A spacer to produce an appropriate preload is built between the
two nuts.
This type of ball screw is suitable in applications where medium-
preloaded or heavily preloaded ball screws are required.
3) TFF Type (Tube Type, Flange-to-flange, Double-nut)
A spacer to produce an appropriate preload is built between the
two nuts.
This type of ball screw is suitable in applications where medium-
preloaded or heavily preloaded ball screws are required.
For the construction of nuts, please refer to Table 1.1, TIC Precision
Ball Screws: Types, Series, and Construction given in the engineering
data section. For preload, please refer to Section 3.6, Preload and
preload torque which is also included in the engineering data section.

Precision Ball Screws D Series (Deflector Type )
This series has compact nuts, in witch steel balls circulate.
1) DF Type (Deflector Type, Flange, Single-nut)
This type of ball screw has the simplest structure, provided with a single nut.
The flange shape can be selected from between round (A) and notched (B).
Select the most suitable depending on the space and installation position.
DSF Type (No Preload)
This ball screw has a little axial clearance.
DFP Type (Integrally Preloaded)
This ball screw is preloaded by shifting the screw lead of nut so as to
produce an appropriate preload. This is the same system as used in
double-nut ball screw, Though this ball screw has a single nut.
This type of ball screw is suitable in applications where lightly preloaded or medium-preloaded ball screws are required.
YDF Type (Preloaded with Oversize Balls)
This ball screw is preloaded with balls that are slightly larger than the
groove dimension of the shaft and nut. The loading balls and spacer
balls are used at a 1-to-1 ratio. This type of ball screw is suitable in
applications where lightly preloaded ball screws are required.
2) DFN Type (Deflector Type, Flange, Double-nut)
A spacer which to produce an appropriate preload is built between the two nut.
This type of ball screw is suitable in applications where medium-preloaded
or heavily preloaded ball screws are required.
3) DFF Type (Deflector type, Flange-to-flange, Double-nut)
A spacer to produce an appropriate preload is built between the two nuts.
This type of ball screw is suitable in applications where medium-preloaded
or heavily preloaded ball screws are required.
For the construction of nuts, please refer to Table 1.1, TIC Precision
Ball Screws: Types, Series, and Construction given in the engineering
data section. For preload, please refer to Section 3.6, Preload and
