OVERVIEW

Our PRO Ballscrew Axis is a high-quality linear motion axis capable of carrying large cutting tools, like our 4 HP or 8.7 HP Plug and Play Spindle systems, at high speeds.

The t-slots on the axis conform to a standard 40mm pitch, and are compatible with our entire range of Router and Spindle Mounts

This axis is included as a standard component in each of our PRO CNC Machine Kits, and is designed to mount to the gantry plate in these systems. It can also be integrated into custom machine applications. We offer two different travel options, 8" standard, or an extended 12" travel for applications requiring longer tools.

Key Features

High Accuracy: a pre-loaded ballscrew nut allows for precise, zero-backlash operation, while dual profile linear bearings provide smooth motion.
High Speed: the 10mm pitch precision ballscrew allows for rapid travel (200 IPM+), enhancing productivity for drilling and 3D contouring applications.
High Load Capacity: features a high-efficiency screw and a uni-directional drag brake to resist back-drive, even when equipped with a heavy 10 kg spindle.
Universal Mounting: includes mounting options for both Nema 23 and Nema 34 motors.
Reliable: dust cover strip and guides protect both linear rails and ballscrew from debris.
