How much weight can a ball screw hold?

The load capacity of a ball screw depends on several factors, including the size, shape, material, and design and manufacturing quality of the ball screw.

Generally, the load capacity of a ball screw is given in the technical specifications and parameter tables provided by the manufacturer. These specification tables usually list the rated load capacity, maximum load capacity, rated speed, and rated service life of the ball screw. The rated load capacity refers to the recommended load of the ball screw under the design calibration conditions, while the maximum load capacity refers to the maximum load that the ball screw can withstand, but may reduce the life of the ball screw or cause other side effects.

The load capacity of a ball screw is also affected by the operating environment and usage conditions. For example, the load capacity of a ball screw may be reduced in a high temperature environment. Therefore, when selecting and using a ball screw, factors such as load type, direction, speed, acceleration, and operating temperature need to be considered.

In summary, to determine the load capacity of a ball screw, it is best to refer to the specification table provided by the manufacturer and ensure that it is selected and used according to the actual application conditions.
