Model Number Coding
The model number confi guration for ball screws diff ers depending on the type. Refer to the corresponding confi guration example shown in Table 1 to Table 3.
THK can also provide shaft end shapes matched to support units. These can also be denoted in the symbols, which should be used for this purpose.
