What are the assembly methods of screw bearings?

Screw bearings, also known as screw drives or ball screws, are essential components in many mechanical systems, providing precise linear motion control. Their combined assembly methods refer to the ways in which screw bearings are integrated into larger mechanical systems to optimize performance.

Combined assembly methods for screw bearings

Fixed-Fixed (Both Ends Fixed) Assembly:

Description: Both ends of the screw are fixed, providing high rigidity and accuracy.

Advantages: Suitable for high-speed applications and long screws.

Applications: CNC machinery, precision instruments.

Fixed-Free (One End Fixed, One End Free) Assembly:

Description: One end of the screw is fixed while the other end is free to move.

Advantages: Simple and cost-effective, but less rigid than other methods.

Applications: Short screw lengths, low-speed applications.

Fixed-Supported (One End Fixed, One End Supported) Assembly:

Description: One end is fixed, and the other end is supported by a bearing that allows rotational but not axial movement.

Advantages: Provides a balance between rigidity and flexibility, suitable for medium-length screws.

Applications: General-purpose machinery, moderate-speed applications.

Supported-Supported (Both Ends Supported) Assembly:

Description: Both ends are supported by bearings that allow rotational movement.

Advantages: Good for long screws, reduces deflection.

Applications: Conveyor systems, linear actuators.
