TBI ball screws provide stable and smooth linear motion for linear modules. However, their highly polished metal surfaces are prone to corrosion if not handled or maintained properly. To address this, we offer the following anti-rust recommendations, focusing not only on lubrication but also on storage and environmental considerations.
1. Surface Preparation and Rust Prevention
Cleaning: Ensure the ball screw surface is thoroughly cleaned using methods appropriate for its material and condition (e.g., solvent cleaning, mechanical abrasion).
Drying: After cleaning, dry the surface with filtered compressed air (120–170°C) or a lint-free cloth.
Coating: Apply rust preventive oil (e.g., BX-308/M or CR-204 series) using a brush coating method. Rotate the screw during application to ensure even coverage and avoid residue or missed spots.
2. Storage Precautions
Store linear modules with TBI ball screws flat and securely packaged to avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, humidity, or physical impacts.
Secure components during handling to prevent detachment.
When installing couplings or motors, avoid forced assembly or disassembly to prevent debris ingress.
3. Operational Environment Management
Operate within the rated parameters (e.g., speed, load) specified in the catalog to avoid mechanical stress or overheating.
Prevent contaminants (dust, metal chips) from entering the ball nut’s circulation system.
For extreme environments (vibration, vacuum, corrosive chemicals, high/low temperatures, humidity, etc.), consult the manufacturer for specialized solutions.
