The deformation prevents smooth movement of the bushing. To eliminate this possibility, the static load rating must not be exceeded. Relation etween all ircuits and Load Ratings: The load rating of a slide varies according to the loaded position on the circumference. The value in the dimensional table indicates the lowest load rating with the load placed on top of one ball circuit. If the slide is used with two ball circuits loaded uniformly, the value will be greater. Table - shows the load ratio for the number of ball circuits in each case.

Modifying Length of Travel For a given length of bearing way, since there is no slip at any load, both length of travel and load capacity depend on the number of rollers and their pitch. The number of rollers supplied with each standard bearing set provides a travel distance of approximately % of the way length (see page 5). In some cases (e.g., when mounting space is restricted) it may be practical to increase travel at the expense of load capacity by removing one or more rollers instead of selecting a longer bearing. Since travel extends symmetrically around the mean position, the travel increase is twice the pitch for each roller removed. Similarly, the load capacity for the set (page ) is reduced by twice the load capacity per roller.

63 Ratings and Specifications Load ratings in the tables are dynamic ratings for each set. Ratings are based on theoretical data, proper installation, appropriate lubrication, and a predicted life of million es. Ratings are suggested only, based on standard and typical industry practice, and cannot be guaranteed. Life can be increased approximately times by operating a given bearing at / its rated load, other factors being constant. Temperature of bearings must not exceed ( F), even for short periods, since this will reduce hardness and result in significantly reduced load capacity and working life. micro. in. 5 in. Maximum deviation from parallelism between the vee groove face and datum faces of each way bar is shown in the graph. ctual accuracy achieved depends on proper installation. Ordering Order standard bearing sets from table by model number according to load and travel required. Each set consists of two complete bearings ( way bars, roller cages, and end stops). Mounting holes in the way bars are threaded, and also counterbored to alternatively permit using the next smaller size screw with threaded mounting holes in the user s components.

74 MXIMUM LO lthough Tusk nti-acklash ssemblies are capable of withstanding relatively high loads without catastrophic failure, these units have been designed to operate under the loading shown in the size charts. Sometimes referred to as reversibility, this is the ability of a screw to be turned by a thrust load applied to the nut. Generally, when the screw lead is less than / the diameter, back driving will not occur. For higher leads where back driving is likely, the torque required for holding a load is: EFFIIENY Efficiency of lead screw varies highly with lead angle (see size listings). For example, the efficiency is low when the lead angle is either very small or very large. T b = Load x Lead x Efficiency TORQUE The required motor torque to drive a lead screw assembly is the sum of three components: The inertial torque, static frictional torque, and torque to move load. It must be noted that this is the torque necessary to drive the lead screw assembly alone. dditional torque associated with driving frictional bearings and motor shafts, moving components, and drag due to general assembly misalignment must also be considered. SREW STRIGHTNE π Screw straightness is indicated by Total Indicator Runout (TIR). The standard straightness for lead screws is. /ft. Tusk can provide tighter specifications on customer request. Inertia Torque: T = Iα Where I = screw inertia α = angular acceleration Static Frictional Torque Tusk nti-acklash ssemblies are typically supplied with static frictional torque of to 7 oz./in. The magnitude of the frictional torque is dependent on the standard factory settings or settings specified by the customer. Generally, the higher the preset force, the better the nti-acklash characteristics. Torque-To-Move Load: The torque to move a certain load is a function of the lead and the efficiency of the lead screw assembly: K RIVING TORQUE = Load x Lead π x Efficiency 7

77 Life Formulas Linear all and Roller Slides Rated Life The rated life L of a linear slide is the length of travel endured by the slide under a specified condition. Since in reality, life varies from one slide to another, industry normally uses the L life rating which is defined as the length of travel that 9% of apparently identical slides will complete before the first evidence of failure. Speed Factor The effect of speed on the load rating of a slide can be accounted for by a speed factor: Formula m fs= V where: V = speed of the slide movement in es/min (when the speed varies during the cycle, the peak value should be used) m = for ball slides, or m = / for roller slides Note: When the speed is less than in/min, fs =. Temperature Factor When the temperature of the slide exceeds certain limits, it reduces the hardness of contacting elements and consequently affects the load rating of the slide. Therefore, its load rating shall be adjusted by a temperature factor ft. The values of this factor are presented in Table. Temperature, deg.f Table Temperature Factor, ft Regular earing Steel ontacting Elements Stainless Steel ontacting Elements not recommended Note: When specifying slides for elevated temperature service, it should be kept in mind that the delrin retainers found in many slides are not recommended for temperatures above deg.f. Load Type Factor In reality, the load endured by a slide can never be absolutely smooth, but rather is a sum of variable forces that include working load, inertial forces, vibrations, impacts, occasional loads, etc. In order to have their influence taken into account, the load rating of the slide shall be adjusted by a load type factor fw. The values of fw for calculations per formula () and () are presented in Table. ondition of Load Table Value of fw Relatively smooth motion to.5 Motion with impacts to 77

78 Life Formula for all and Roller Slides ased on the above definitions and role of different factors, the real life of linear slides can be obtained from the following formula: Formula m x fs x ft L= ( ) X es where: L = life of the slide at 9% of reliability as defined above (in es). = catalog load capacity of the slide in lbs. (which is a load that corresponds to an L life of million es, provided the factors fs, ft and fw are equal to. Pc= Pc x fw calculated effective load the slide is subjected to in lbs. (fs, ft and fw are factors as described above.) m= for ball slides, or / for roller slides. When other than 9% reliability is required (for instance, K % reliability), the known value of L shall be multiplied by a reliability factor fr so that: Ln = fr L where: Ln = rated life at the reliability of K% (n = -K). The values of the factor fr are presented in Table. Table RELIILITY Ln rated life fr, reliability K% factor 5 L L 95 L5. 97 L. 99 L. The general formula for the life of Tusk linear slides is expressed as following: Example Formula m X es esign considerations lead to the selection of a ball slide. The available space accommodates the el-tron S- slide. Find the life at 95% reliability (L5 life) under the following conditions: Peak speed during the cycle: V=5 in/min. Working temperature of slide = 5 deg.f. alculated effective load the slide is subjected to: Pc = lbs. Type of load: Moderate vibration, no impacts. Solution: Ln=fr x ( ) x fs x ft Pc x fw () With the formula () the speed factor fs is found as: fs= 5 =.5 () The value of the temperature factor ft is found in Table as: ft =. () Using Table, the value of the type of load factor can be estimated as: fw =.5. () The value of reliability factor fr is found in Table as: fr =.. (5) The value of the load capacity for the el-tron S- slide is found in the el- Tron atalog as: = lbs. () The required life of the slide can then be calculated using formula (): L5=. x ( ) x.5 x x.5 X =.7x es 7
