October 8, 2013 - Schaeffler announces KGT rolled ballscrew drives.
The KGT range of ballscrew drives can be used at operating temperatures from -10°C to +80°C. The screw nuts (KGF/M) are protected against contamination by either a gap seal or a labyrinth seal. For some ballscrew designs, a contact seal may be recommended. If there is a risk of dust or foreign matter entering the screw nut, additional sealing measures can be implemented. Depending on technical, economic and ecological factors, lubrication is achieved using oil or grease.
The screw nut is pre-greased as standard with a high quality lubricant. For re-lubrication, lithium soap or lithium complex soap greases with a mineral oil base is recommended.
