The reason for cutting off both ends of the rod of the ball screw when using it

Date:2023-04-25 

When using a ball screw, it is common practice to cut off both ends of the rod. This may seem unnecessary, but there are actually several reasons why it is important to do so.

Firstly, cutting off the ends of the rod helps to ensure that the screw is properly aligned. If the ends of the rod are not cut off, there is a risk that they will not be perfectly straight, which can lead to misalignment of the screw and reduced accuracy.

Secondly, cutting off the ends of the rod helps to prevent damage to the screw during transport and installation. When the ends of the rod are left uncut, there is a greater risk of the screw getting bent or damaged during handling, which can impact its performance.

Finally, cutting off the ends of the rod helps to ensure that the screw is the correct length for the application. By cutting off the ends, you can make sure that the screw is the right length to fit into the machine or device it is intended for.

At PINSI, we understand the importance of precision and accuracy when it comes to ball screws, which is why we always recommend cutting off both ends of the rod before using it. This small step can make a big difference in the performance and longevity of the screw, helping to ensure that it operates smoothly and efficiently for years to come.
