Product Introduction

SFS: the widest range in the catalogue

Where the other series are built around a particular duty, SFS is built around coverage. It starts at a 12 mm shaft for instrument and miniature axes and runs to a 100 mm shaft for the heaviest loads in the range, with leads from 5 mm up to 50 mm along the way.

That breadth makes it the series to look at when your requirement does not fit the shape of the others - an unusual combination of small diameter and long lead, or a very large diameter with a modest lead for stiffness rather than speed.

Because so many sizes are offered, several screws appear with more than one circuit count, for example SFS02005-3.8 against SFS02006-4.8. Reading the pair as a load-versus-length choice is usually the fastest way to narrow the table down.

Getting through a 45-model table quickly

The code tells you the two numbers you are filtering on before you open the table: shaft diameter, then lead. SFS02005-3.8 is a 20 mm shaft with a 5 mm lead; SFS10020-3.8 is a 100 mm shaft with a 20 mm lead. The suffix after the hyphen is the circuit count, and unlike most series here it is given to one decimal place.

A practical way to use the table: fix the lead from the speed you need, then move down the diameter column until the dynamic load Ca clears your duty with margin. The K column gives the axial stiffness of the nut, which is what decides how much the axis deflects under cutting force even when the load rating looks ample.

Reproduced from the manufacturer catalogue, page 28. Shaft diameter and lead are read from the model designation, because the catalogue's printed shaft column uses merged cells; the remaining columns are as printed. Load is in kgf, stiffness K in kgf/µm.

Questions we are asked about the SFS series

Why do some screws have a decimal circuit count? The figure is the number of ball circuits actually built into the nut, so 3.8 circuits is a real nut, not a rounding. It is part of the part number and must be quoted with the size.

Is a smaller diameter with a big lead a sensible combination? Sometimes - it keeps the inertia and the cost down when the load is light and the stroke short. It is a geometry question, so send us the numbers rather than guessing from the table.

Which of the five series do you need?

SFS is where to look when the requirement does not fit the shape of the other four - an unusual diameter and lead pair, or a very large screw chosen for stiffness rather than for speed.

Narrow the SFS range down for your axis

Give us the load, the stroke, the speed and the space you have for the nut. With those four numbers the 45 models above usually come down to two or three, and we will tell you which.
