Planetary roller screws
More and more industries are converting their actuation requirements to SKF planetary roller screws, benefiting from their high load capability, easy integration and control, and positive environmental impact.
SKF offers the largest range of planetary roller screws to cover the most demanding applications. Through the use of the latest machining equipment, SKF can offer planetary roller screws from very small to very large diameters, with a wide variety of lead.
Features and benefits
- Shaft length up to 8 000 mm (please consult SKF for longer screws)
- Standard lead precision G5 (ep=25µm/300mm) to G1 (ep=6µm/300mm)
-
High rotational speed depending on screw nominal diameter: N.d0 max = 160000
(for example, 4100 RPM for screws with nominal diameter 39 or 8000 RPM for screws with nominal diameter 20 mm; could be higher for smaller size shaft. Please consult SKF) - Optional stainless steel material
- Optional wipers
- Optional support bearings
- Many strong contact points for heavy load capacity and long service life
- Planetary concept without recirculation, resulting in high reliability, low noise, and high speed capability
-
Rollers synchronized by toothed rings, resulting in exceptional behaviour in applications with frequent changes of direction
- Rollers guided for even circumferential load distribution
- No torque variation during changes of direction
- Axial play or preloaded execution on request
- Long lead up to 42 mm for high linear speed, up to 1.8m/s for a roller screw of 40 44x30 for example.
- Very small lead down to 2, mm, combining high positioning accuracy with high load carrying capacity, high rigidity and high speed
- High axial stiffness, further increased with preloaded versions
-
Easy nut disassembly from the shaft, if necessary
- Ability to operate in contaminated environment with minimum loss of performance
- Adaptable tooling for non-standard, left hand thread or special designs
- Minimum torque requirements
- No miniature parts to improve robustness and reliability
-
