    The document discusses dust prevention for ball screws. It states that dust and foreign matter can cause accelerated wear of ball screws. Devices like bellows, screw covers, and wiper rings should be used to prevent contamination, especially in environments with cutting chips. A labyrinth seal or brush seal can also be used in dusty atmospheres free of foreign matter. Wiper rings contact the screw shaft and thread to remove foreign matter while introducing minimal heat or wear over long periods of use. Testing showed wiper rings prevented damage up to 1,000 km while labyrinth seals failed after only 200 km in a dusty environment.

    Dimensions of the Ball Screw

    10. Dust Prevention


    Dust and foreign matter that enter the Ball Screw may cause accelerated wear and breakage,
    as with roller bearings. Therefore, where contamination by dust or foreign matter (e.g., cutting
    chips) is predicted, screw shafts must always be completely covered by dust prevention
    devices (e.g., bellows, screw cover, wiper ring).
    If the Ball Screw is used in an atmosphere free from foreign matter but with suspended dust, a
    labyrinth seal (for precision Ball Screw) and a brush seal (for rolled Ball Screw) can be used in
    place of dust prevention devices. When placing an order, indicate the respective model num-
    ber.
    The labyrinth seal is designed to maintain a slight clearance between the seal and the screw
    shaft raceway so that torque does not develop and no heat is generated, though its effect in
    dust prevention is limited.
    With Ball Screws except the large-lead and super-lead types, there is no difference in nut
    dimensions between those with and without a seal.
    With the wiper ring, special resin with high wear resistance and low dust generation removes

    Dust Prevention
    foreign matter while closely contacting the circumference of the ball screw shaft and the
    screw thread. It is capable of preventing foreign matter from entering the Ball Screw even in
    harsh environments.

    10.1. Wiper Ring W for the Ball Screw

    With the wiper ring, special resin with high wear resistance and low dust generation removes
    foreign matter and prevents foreign matter from entering the ball screw nut while elastically
    contacting the circumference of the ball screw shaft and the screw thread.

    Features
    ●A total of eight slits on the circumference remove foreign matter in succession, and prevents
    entrance of foreign matter.
    ●Contacts the ball screw shaft to reduce the flowing out of grease.
    ●Contacts the ball screw shaft at a constant pressure level using a spring, thus to minimize
    heat generation.
    ●Since the material is highly resistant to wear and chemicals, its performance will not easily
    be deteriorated even if it is used over a long period.
