As a high-precision transmission component, ball screws are widely used in CNC machine tools, robots, medical equipment and other fields in automated devices. However, as operation time increases, many customers report that the screws become increasingly noisy, which even impairs the stability of the entire equipment. What exactly causes this issue?
A lack of lubrication in ball screws during high-speed operation leads to dry friction, resulting in a sharp surge in vibration and noise：
- The grease used is prone to oxidation and deterioration after long-term operation, losing its buffering effect and causing louder friction noise.
- Dust entering the screw grooves may also lead to abrasive noise and abnormal sounds.
- Choosing grease that is not suitable for precision sliding friction parts will also result in poor noise reduction performance.
Baoxing recommends the use of BX-300-WY Noise-Reducing Grease, specially designed for precision sliding systems such as ball screws and guide rails. It features high adhesion to form a stable oil film, mitigating vibration between the screw and nut;
it delivers excellent lubrication and noise reduction performance to effectively control mechanical noise;
it is suitable for both high and low temperatures with moderate consistency at room temperature, remaining non-drying and non-slinging for the long term;
it also boasts strong water resistance, dust resistance and oxidation resistance, extending maintenance intervals.
If your ball screws are also plagued by noise issues, feel free to contact us for sample trials. The Baoxing technical team can assist you in matching the optimal lubrication solution!
