Ready-to-Install Precision Ball Screws SDA-VZ with Machined Ends and Support Bearings

Now available with new configuration options in the standard lineup

With the SDA-VZ series, THK offers ready-to-install precision ball screws featuring standardized machined shaft ends and matching support bearings. This significantly reduces design and assembly time, simplifying the integration of these proven ball screw systems into various applications.

Thanks to a special ball circulation design with tangential ball return, the SDA-VZ series enables rotational speeds of up to 5,000 min⁻¹ (DN value: 100,000) while maintaining a stable torque output. This makes the series ideal for applications requiring both high dynamics and precision.

Another advantage is provided by the newly introduced support bearings EK-L and EF-L, which compared to the previous support bearings, allow a lower height of the spindle's center axis and enable the selection of smaller sizes for linear guides.
