Basic principles
To utilize the full performance capability
of a system with a driven nut, the screw
should be fixed at both ends (end fixity:
fixed-fixed). Stretching the screw has
the following positive effects on the
overall system:
Improves the rigidity, since the elas-
ticity of the screw end bearings has
been eliminated.
Compensation of thermal influences
to avoid axial loads in the screw,
thus reducing the danger of buckling.
However, the change in length and
tensioning of the screw resulting from
the stretching must be kept within a
limit that is acceptable for the overall
system. Otherwise, elastic deformation
could result in excessive lead deviations
between the ball nut and the screw,
having a negative effect on the service
life.
If the screw is cooled by convection,
a temperature difference of max. 10C
can be compensated for by stretching.
For higher temperature differences,
water cooling is necessary.

Tensile stress
For practical applications, the screw
must be stretched so that resulting
tensile stress is higher than the tem-
perature-induced compressive stress.
At the same time, the permissible
tensile stress must not be exceeded.

Permissible elongation
Stretching causes the screw to elon-
gate, which changes the screw and

characteristics of a classic ball screw
drive in one unit.
When paired with Rexroth linear
guides, they offer machine designers
full design freedom for every appli-
cation.

assembled ball nut enclosure.
The drive itself can be sup-
plied along with the unit, if so
requested by the customer.

34 Bosch Rexroth AG Drive Units R310EN 3304 (2005.10)
AOK Drive Units
Dimensioning the AOK
AOK drive units are sized according
to the same criteria as for ball screw
assemblies:
Service life calculation
The service life of the drive unit is cal-
culated in a similar way as for a classic
ball screw drive. The average speed
and average load are calculated for this
purpose (see the Calculations sec-
tion). When dealing with a complete
unit, the lowest basic load rating of the
nut or bearing must be used for the
calculation. The corresponding data is
listed in the table opposite (top right).
Permissible speed
The permissible speed of the ball screw
is influenced by different factors:
Screw lead
Maximum permissible nut speed
(d x n value)
Permissible speed of the end
bearings
Length-dependent critical speed of
the screw due to screw deflection
The permissible speeds as a function of
the drive unit length are shown in charts;
see page 44. These charts make it easy
to estimate the attainable speeds.
Calculation of the permissible drive
torque
The maximum permissible drive torque
at the motor journal is shown in charts
giving a clear indication of the various
factors involved; see page 46.
The classic Euler buckling load of the
screw is shown for each ball screw size
and length, as well as the respective
bearing configuration and the specific
drive journal used along with the side
drive timing belt.
Friction torques, mass moments of
inertia and moved masses can be
found in the corresponding tables on
the following pages.
A calculation example that shows the
interplay of all chosen components for
an application example can be found in
the Calculation and Examples section.

Further suitable ball nut types, e.g.

main Precision Ball Screw Assemblies
catalog R310EN 3301. The many com-
binations available can also be used in
the drive units, but the units would be
delivered unassembled. Please consult
us.
For calculation purposes, the lowest
load rating of the ball nut or bearing
must be used in these cases.
AOK drive units are mounted with the
MGA-Z ball nut enclosure and supplied
with all attachments; see Inquiries and
Orders.

ports allow maximum speeds
even over long strokes.
57 Bosch Rexroth AG Drive Units R310EN 3304 (2005.10)
AGK Drive Units
Depending on the application require-
ments, the ball nut enclosure can also
be at the side instead of the top.
Interesting combinations with the rail
guides are also possible.
The table is supported symmetrically on
two rail guides with four runner blocks.
The ball nut enclosure is located at the
top. The sealing strip ensures extensive
protection of the unit.
The optional traveling screw supports
allow very high linear speeds even over
long strokes.
Motor attachments can be moved
around to serve functionality or for
space-saving.
Supporting frames can be easily and
rapidly built using our proven aluminum
profile construction kit. Please refer to
catalog Basic Mechanical Elements
(MGE 3 842 529 114).
Application examples
58 Bosch Rexroth AG Drive Units R310EN 3304 (2005.10)
AGK Drive Units
Patented screw support
The patented screw support elegant-
ly solves the problem of the critical
speed in horizontal ball screw appli-
cations.
If the screw is not supported, a longer
stroke normally means a reduction in
the critical speed and hence the per-
missible linear speed, corresponding
to the square of the added length.
Ball screws normally exhibit physical
limitations in applications where high
speeds are necessary to achieve
shorter machine cycle times. These
limits can be extended with suitable
supports for the rotating screw. Up to
now, however, it was the responsibility
of the customer to implement these
designs.
With this product, Rexroth offers a
solution that truly deserves the name
Drive Unit because all of the design
details of this system have been engi-
neered and implemented as elements
in a modular structure.
Easy motor attachment due
to locating feature and
fastening screw thread
Product Overview, AGK
Traveling screw supports for maximum
linear speeds in horizontal operation
Optimum sealing with steel or
polyurethane sealing strip
Fixed bearing with 60 angular-
contact thrust ball bearing for
maximum load ratings
The screw support motion is triggered
by the movement of the nut along the
screw. Screw supports are used in
pairs. Depending on the application,
one, two or three pairs may be neces-
sary. When the nut moves out of the
central position, the screw supports are
pushed together in the corresponding
direction and simultaneously located in
predetermined positions behind the nut.
Even when the nut is located at the end
of its stroke, the screw will be support-
ed radially at several points.
Since the unsupported length between
two screw supports is relatively short,
the critical speed can be very effectively
increased. As a result, real restrictions
of the maximum possible linear speed
are practically eliminated.
In vertical operation, a further benefit is
offered by the pillow blocks. The float-
ing bearings in the pillow blocks contain
two deep-groove ball bearings which, in
terms of the critical speed, act almost
like a fixed bearing but without exerting
any substantial stretching forces on the
screw or the machine.

60 Bosch Rexroth AG Drive Units R310EN 3304 (2005.10)
AGK Drive Units
Dimensioning the AGK
AGK drive units are sized according
to the same criteria as for ball screw
assemblies:
Service life calculation
The service life of the drive unit is cal-
culated in a similar way as for a classic
ball screw drive. The average speed
and average load are calculated for this
purpose (see the Calculations sec-
tion). When dealing with a complete
unit, the lowest basic load rating of the
nut or bearing must be used for the
calculation. The corresponding data
is listed in the table opposite.
Permissible speed
The permissible speed of the ball screw
is influenced by different factors:
Screw lead
Maximum permissible nut speed
(d x n value)
Permissible speed of the end
bearings
Length-dependent critical speed of
the screw due to screw deflection.
By using screw supports for longer
lengths, it is possible to increase the
critical speed because the screw
supports function like additional
floating bearing.
The permissible speeds as a function
of the drive unit length and the number
of screw supports are shown in charts
(see page 70). These charts make it
easy to estimate the attainable speeds.
It should be noted that screw supports
are only used in horizontal applications.
Permissible drive torque
The maximum permissible drive torque
at the motor journal is shown in charts
giving a clear indication of the various
factors involved, as can be seen in the
charts section (see page 72).
The classic Euler buckling load of the
screw is shown for each ball screw size
and length, as well as the respective
bearing configuration and the specific
drive journal used along with the side
drive timing belt.
Vertical mounting
In vertical applications, screw supports
cannot be used because of the system
design. So, the permissible linear
speeds and drive torques indicated in
the table without screw supports are
valid for these applications.
Friction torques, mass moments of
inertia and moved masses can be
found in the corresponding tables on
the following pages.
A calculation example that shows the
interplay of all chosen components for
an application example can be found in
the Calculation and Examples section.

Load-carrying capacities and
service life
We calculate load-carrying capacities
and service life in accordance with
DIN 69 051, Part 4 and ISO 3408-4
(P5).
Basic static load rating C
0
The static load rating is an axial, con-
centrically acting force that induces a
permanent deformation of 0.0001 x the
ball diameter between the ball and the
ball raceway.
Basic dynamic load rating C
The dynamic load rating is an axial,
concentrically acting force of constant
magnitude and direction under which
90% of a sufficiently large amount of
identical ball screws can achieve a
nominal service life of one million
revolutions.
Service life
The nominal life is expressed by the
number of revolutions (or number of
operating hours at constant speed) that
will be attained or exceeded by 90% of
a representative sample of identical ball
screws before the first signs of material
fatigue become evident. The nominal life
is designated as L or L
h
, depending on
whether it is specified in revolutions or
hours.
Selection criteria for ball
screws
The following factors should be
considered when selecting the ball
screw for a given application:
degree of accuracy required
(lead deviation)
in-service load conditions
service life
critical speed
buckling load
rigidity/permissible clearance
or desired preload
characteristic speed (max.
permissible linear speed)
The following points should be taken
into consideration when selecting a ball
screw assembly that is to be both cost-
efficient and optimally designed:
The lead is a decisive factor for the
load-carrying capacity (depending on
the maximum possible ball diameter)
and the drive torque.
The calculation of the service life
should be based on average loads
and average speeds, not on maxi-
mum values.
In order for us to provide you with
a customized solution, installation
drawings or sketches of the nut
environment should be enclosed
with your inquiry.
Technical Notes
on the Ball Screws used
DIN 69 051, Part 1 defines a
ball screw as follows:
An assembly comprising a ball screw
shaft and a ball nut and which is cap-
able of converting rotary motion into
linear motion and vice versa. The rolling
elements of the assembly are balls.
Safety information
We recommend that a safety nut
be installed for particularly critical
applications in vertical set-ups.
Please ask.
Note:
Radial and eccentric forces relative to
the screw must be avoided as they have
a negative effect on the life and proper
function of the ball screw. Where spe-
cial conditions of operation are involved,
please ask.

Sealing
Ball screws are precision assemblies
that require protection against con-
tamination. Flat protective covers and
bellows type dust boots are particular-
ly suitable for this purpose. With its
enclosed design and integral sealing
strip, the drive unit AGK offers suffi-
cient protection for many applications.
In addition, we have developed a gap-
less lip-type seal which ensures an
optimal sealing effect and maintains
high efficiency due to the low friction
level. Our ball screws are therefore
supplied with seals in their standard
versions. At the customers request,
these seals can be omitted or special
seals used in their place. A reinforced
version of the standard seal has been
developed for those applications where
heavy contamination of the screw ap-
pears inevitable. The sealing effect has
been improved further by increasing the
preload. What must be borne in mind is
the significantly higher friction torque in
comparison with the standard friction
torque (see page 94) and the associ-
ated increased heat build-up. The re-
inforced seal can be easily recognized
externally by its dark green color.

Short stroke
During a short stroke, the ball does not
make a real turn. It is therefore impos-
sible for an adequate lubricating film
to form. This may result in premature
wear. In the chart, the minimum requir-
ed stroke (travel) for a 10% lower load
rating is shown as a function of the
number of turns and lead of the nut.
Hence the most favorable range lies
above each curve. It may help to have
occasional longer strokes, which are
performed with simultaneous relubri-
cation as lubricating strokes. If in
doubt, please ask.
Permissible operating
temperatures
Ball screws are suitable for continuous
operation at temperatures up to 80C
with temporary peaks of 100C (meas-
urements taken on the outer shell of the
nut).
Material, hardness
Our standard ball screw assemblies
are made of high-quality, heat-treatable
steel, carbon chrome alloy steels or
case-hardened steels. The screw and
nut raceways have a minimum Rockwell
hardness of HRC 60. Normally, the
screw ends remain unhardened.

Drive Units, Calculation and Examples
Calculation Example, MHS Drive Unit
Given data
Example of a stroke and length
calculation for MHS 40x20R 6-3:
Operating conditions
The maximum linear speed in rapid
approach mode is specified as
60 m/min. The service life of the
machine should be 40,000 operating
hours with the ball screw operating
60% of the time.
The end fixity is specified as fixed-fixed.
The loads, rotary speeds and discrete
time steps are given in the table on the
right.
A drive unit is to be selected and
calculated for the table drive of
a machine tool. The table weighs
200 kg. The frictional drag of the

= L
Hmax
+ L
C
+ L
N
L
thr
= 2000 mm + 800 mm + 160 mm
L
thr
= 2960 mm
The required stroke is
L
Hmax
= 2000 mm.
The length L
C
of the customer-built
structure (= interference contour) is
800 mm.
Because of the installation conditions,
the thread length should be 2960 mm.
Checking the linear speed
The rapid approach speed of 60 m/min
can be attained by the drive unit MHS
40x20Rx6-3. The maximum permissible
linear speed of 60 m/mm will not be
exceeded (see table on page 13).
Since the end fixity is fixed-fixed, no
further limitation of the linear speed is
necessary.
The chosen drive unit meets the require-
ments and the calculation can be con-
tinued.

Operating conditions
The service life of the unit should be
40,000 operating hours with the ball
screw operating 50% of the time.
The application example is a handling
axis. The table mass is 100 kg. The
frictional drag of the guides has been
factored in to the machining forces. The
rapid approach speed is v = 30 m/min.

The life L can be calculated by

Service life in hours L

The life of the selected ball screw is
thus greater than the required service
life of 20,000 hours (including operating
hours).
Result and selection
At 17,275 N, the calculated required
load rating of the drive unit is smaller
than the given load rating C=19,700 N
for the selected size 32x20. The dimen-
sioning of the drive unit therefore meets
the service life requirement.

A motor MKD 071B with controller
DKC*.3-040 is specified for the drive.
Motor attachment is via motor mount
and coupling.
The ratio of the mass moment of inertia
of the payload to the motor mass mo-
ment of inertia is therefore as follows:
Since the factor 3.45 lies between
1.5 and 6, the selected motor is suit-
able for use in a handling application.
