Flexible ball screw Configuration

Ball screw drives provide thrust and linear motion at the machine tool table by transmitting power from a rotary motor through a ball screw mechanism. They are commonly used in machine tools because of their relatively high stiffness to cutting force disturbances and low sensitivity to variations in workpiece inertia as a result of their inherent gear reduction ratio.

If you select a ball screw drive for one axis, you should configure the axis drive in this section. Click the Feed Drive icon in the Axis Servo Drive module, and when the Feed Drive icon is highlighting, select the Leadscrew Servo Drive radial button and click the Flexible ballscrew Drive icon below.

This opens the structure design interface of the flexible ballscrew drive.

Configuration of a ball screw drive includes three steps:Modelling, Analysis, and Loading the result.
