Ball Nut Simple End Machining

Fixed End Machining (sometimes called “floating” end)

Note that Stroke Length is the distance

the nut can travel before it butts against Stroke Length
the end supports. Stroke Length is how
far you can effectively move your work.

Overall Length (this is the FULL length of the screw including machined ends)

Typical part number: BSFU1605-0350-FS

BSFU16 = Our ball nut identifier and diameter (in mm)
05 = Lead for screw in mm (one turn moves nut this many mm)
0350 = Overall length of screw in mm (end to end)
FS = Fixed & Simple end machining

We stock various lengths in ALL sizes shown above. Refer to page 1 of this document for list of stocked sizes. Special
sizes also available in these materials and many others with 2-3 week lead time. Rolled screws. Ground screws. Just
about any diameter and lead you could need. Just ask us for a quick, no-obligation quote.

Rolled screws have Class 7 accuracy rating. ACCURACY

Precision Rolled Screw Runout: +/- 0.050/300mm or 0.002"/12".

Ballnut: Single ballnut with anti-backlash defined as <0.015mm or <0.0006".

Note: Our standard ball screws and most of our custom screws are supplied with the “BSFU” style
ball nut. This is a very common design of ball nut which also carries this designation: Type DIN 69051. The
ball nuts we provide are individually loaded and matched to screws for longer life and better performance.

With other sizes/leads, other ball nut styles may be utilized. We will advise you about the type of ball nut
available for a given size at the time of quote.

Typical/Recommended End Machining
“A” Type Fixed End (BK/WBK style mount)

Important note: In some cases

slightly different machining is
required on the fixed end depending
on whether you are using a BK
mount or WBK mount. Before we
can provide a custom screw, we
MUST know how you intend to
support the ball screw.

 MGD Style Ball Screw Nut Bracket
(machined from steel)

We stock the MGD16, MGD20 and MGD25 sizes. Other

sizes can be special-ordered. CAD drawings are available
from our website.

HD Style Ball Screw Nut Bracket

(machined from aluminum)

We stock the HD16, HD20, HD25 and HD32 sizes. CAD

drawings and PDF spec sheets are available from our
website.
• Precision machined from aluminum. The HD brackets are excellent quality but
cost significantly less than MGD brackets above.
• Part numbers indicate the size screw upon which these are used. For
example, the HD16 model is used in conjunction with the ball nut typically
installed on a 16mm Ø screw. The barrel of the ball nut for this size is usually
28mm Ø, so the receiving bore in the bracket is just in excess of that.

 Super Strong DR1-C STAINLESS STEEL motor couplings

The DR1-C STAINLESS STEEL flexible motor coupling line is strong…providing significantly more torque rating
than aluminum. Connect motors to ball screws and other shafts via clamping pressure applied by two set screws.
We stock an extensive range of couplings that account for most common shaft sizes; other bore sizes can be
provided as a special order (minimum quantities apply).
