 8. Method for Mounting the Ball Screw Shaft
Figures 1 to 4 show representative mounting methods for the screw shaft.
Permissible axial load and permissible rotation speed vary with mounting methods for the
screw shaft. Therefore, it is necessary to select an appropriate mounting method according to
the service conditions.
