What should be noted when using ball screw grease?

September 06, 2024
Ball screws are widely used as precision transmission components due to their long service life, high rigidity, high efficiency, high sensitivity, and zero backlash characteristics. Proper lubrication is essential for ball screws, as insufficient lubrication can increase friction and wear, leading to failure or reduced lifespan. When using ball screw grease, the following points should be noted:

 

Check lubrication status: Before using the ball screw, ensure that the lubrication is in good condition. Poor lubrication can cause the ball screw to lose functionality within a short period.

 

Ball screw grease application: If grease has already been applied to the ball screw, it can be used directly. However, if dust or debris adheres to the surface of the grease during use, clean it off with an appropriate solvent.

 

Replacing ball screw grease: After cleaning the ball screw, reapply new grease of the same type as the original. Avoid mixing different types of grease, as this can negatively affect the ball screw's performance.

Regular ball screw grease inspection: It is recommended to inspect the grease 2 to 3 months after initial use. If the grease appears noticeably dirty, remove the old grease and apply fresh grease to ensure optimal ball screw performance and extend its lifespan.
