CBR specializes in Cincinnati ball screw repair.
What causes worn, loose, and noisy ball screw assemblies?
Most CNC metal-working machines tend to loosen up with age and production hours. It is very common to see CNC machines with only 4,000 to 6,000 hours on them showing “hole out-of-round” problems. This is not a machinery quality problem. It is usually caused by a ball screw assembly worn from abrasive cutting effluents suspended in the air and blown around by the assist gas. This dust is very fine and tends to coat everything on or near the machine.
When this dust settles on the oil covered ball screws it forms a grinding paste, resulting in assembly wear over time.
CNC punching machines have a more forgiving environment, but have open motion systems to shop dirt. They can go 8,000 to 10,000 hours before position errors show up. CNC machining centers and lathes can go much longer. The problem shows up as tool chatter, loss of stiffness, interpolation errors and poor finish pass accuracy.
