READ MOREBall screw brackets and accessories are key components ensuring the high-precision, high-rigidity, and stable operation of ball screw systems. Their primary classification is based on functional role, structural design, and service type.
The core components can be divided into four main categories:
Support Seat Units: Divided into fixed-end and support-end units based on the load and function they bear.
Fixed-end support seats (e.g., BK, FK, EK, AK series): Typically equipped with angular contact bearing assemblies, they bear bidirectional axial and radial loads and provide precise axial positioning of the screw, serving as the reference end for the entire transmission system.
Support-end support seats (e.g., BF, FF, EF, AF series): Typically equipped with deep groove ball bearings, they primarily bear radial loads and allow for slight axial thermal expansion displacement of the screw, providing auxiliary support and floating adjustment.
Standard functional accessories: Primarily lock nuts (e.g., RN series), used to tighten and preload the screw shaft end to the bearings within the fixed-end support seat. These are crucial standard components for torque transmission and eliminating backlash.
Custom machining services: These refer to the machining services provided to users of the lead screw shaft ends, ensuring a perfect match with standard support brackets. This mainly includes machining of the fixed end journal (compatible with BK/FK/EK/AK, etc.) and the support end journal (compatible with BF/FF/EF/AF, etc.), a crucial step in achieving plug-and-play functionality and lowering the assembly threshold.
The support bracket and accessory system, with its core division of labor between the fixed and support ends, supplemented by standard parts and custom machining, together constitute a complete, plug-and-play lead screw system installation solution.

READ MOREBall screw brackets and accessories are essential mounting and support components in precision transmission systems. They help position, support, connect, and protect ball screw assemblies in CNC machinery, automation equipment, linear modules, robotic axes, and custom industrial machines.
At Lishui Wangong Precision Machinery Co., Ltd., we manufacture ball screw support units, brackets, bearing blocks, lock nuts, couplings, nut housings, and related linear motion accessories for industrial customers worldwide. Founded in 2008 and located in Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, WANGONG operates a modern 52,000-square-meter R&D and production facility dedicated to precision transmission components. With ISO9001 quality management, advanced equipment and technologies introduced from Germany, Japan, and Taiwan, and cooperation experience with customers from more than 30 countries, we support engineering teams from product selection to batch delivery and long-term replacement needs.
Ball screw brackets are mechanical support components used to fix and support both ends of a ball screw shaft. In a typical ball screw drive system, the fixed side support unit carries axial load and helps maintain positioning rigidity, while the support side support unit provides radial support and stabilizes shaft rotation.
Ball screw accessories are the related parts used for installation, connection, adjustment, and maintenance of the complete transmission system. These may include:
Although these components may appear small, they directly affect installation accuracy, axial support, rotation stability, operating noise, and long-term performance of the complete ball screw system.
Ball screw brackets and accessories are widely used in equipment that requires stable rotary-to-linear motion conversion.
In CNC machine tools and machining centers, support units help position the ball screw shaft accurately and maintain stable feed movement under repeated operation. In industrial automation equipment, they are used with motors, couplings, linear guideways, and nut housings to build complete linear motion axes.
For linear modules and robotic linear axes, compact ball screw brackets make installation easier and help reduce assembly time. In semiconductor equipment, electronics manufacturing systems, laser cutting machines, and inspection equipment, properly matched support units help improve motion stability and repeatable positioning.
For maintenance projects, compatible brackets and accessories can help replace worn or damaged parts without redesigning the full machine structure.
WANGONG supports ball screw bracket and accessory solutions for different machine structures, shaft end designs, and linear motion system requirements. Depending on project needs, customers can select standard support units or request customized brackets based on drawings, samples, or specific mounting interfaces.
Common product types may include:
Standard support unit series such as BK/BF, FK/FF, EK/EF, and WBK are commonly used in the precision transmission industry. Availability can be confirmed according to ball screw diameter, shaft end machining, axial load, installation space, and machine layout.
Fixed side and support side units are usually selected as matched sets to improve assembly compatibility and reduce selection errors.
WANGONG supports standard supply, custom machining, and OEM project cooperation for industrial customers, equipment manufacturers, distributors, and system integrators.
Our team can support customers from technical review and product matching to sample confirmation, batch production, shipment, and after-sales communication.
Standard ball screw support unit series such as BK/BF, FK/FF, EK/EF are commonly used in CNC machines, linear modules, and automation equipment. These standard series help customers simplify selection, maintenance, replacement, and inventory planning.
To support efficient selection and quotation, WANGONG can provide or assist with:
For accurate selection, customers are encouraged to provide the ball screw model, shaft end drawing, support unit model, machine application, load condition, speed requirement, installation space, and quantity.
