BS 6101-1 is the first part of the BS 6101 multi-series that discusses machine tool ball screws.
BS 6101-1 gives methods of calculating the basic dynamic and static load and life ratings of re-circulating ball screws for use in machine tool applications.
BS 6101-1 is applicable to re-circulating ball screw assemblies having the shaft and nuts manufactured from hardened steel.
BS 6101-1 on machine tool ball screws is useful for:
Ball screws are one of the most commonly used screws for machines. These screws withstand different pressures and therefore have an operational life. These properties need to be identified for specification purposes.
The calculation methods provided by BS 6101-1 enable you to determine the dynamic and static load values of ball screws. These values help you identify the load-bearing capacities of ball screws. BS 6101-1 also helps you to calculate the life ratings which help you to which can help you to identify the operational life of these ball screws.
Overall, the guidelines of BS 6101-1 enable you to identify the product specifications like load-bearing capacity and operational life for machine tool ball screws.
