Permissible Axial Load

Ballscrew to be used should not buckle under the maximum compressive load applied in its axial direction.


Permissible Rotational Speed

When the rotation speed of driving motor coincides with the natural frequency of feed system (mainly the ballscrew), the resonance of vibration shall be triggered. This rotation speed is then called critical rotation speed. It shall make bad quality machining, since there is wave shape surface on the workpiece. It may also cause damage of machine. Hence it is very important to prevent the resonance of vibration from happening. We choose 80% of critical rotation speed as allowable speed.
