Estimating the shaft length
Maximum Manufacturing Length of the Screw Shaft
Table 15 shows the maximum manufacturing lengths of precision ball screws by accuracy grade, Table 16 shows the maximum manufacturing lengths of precision ball screws compliant with ISO standards by accuracy grade, and Table 17 shows the maximum manufacturing lengths of rolled ball screws by accuracy grade.
If the shaft dimensions exceed the maximum manufacturing lengths in Table 15, Table 16, or Table 17, contact THK.
