Ball Screw Module Failures-Poor Grease as Root Cause

Share:
Jul. 17, 2026

New ball screw modules often stick, make noise and lose positioning accuracy, with black, worn raceways. Many companies waste money on pricey imported grease with no improvement—the real problem is mismatched lubricant, not faulty hardware.

1. Standard Grease Fails Tough Screw Working Conditions

Screws for 3C equipment and robots run nonstop with strict demands generic grease cannot meet:

1. High-speed reciprocation flushes weak-adhesion grease, causing dry metal friction

2. Unstable oil film leads to positioning errors

3. Mixed metal-plastic parts require grease harmless to POM/PC/PA plastics

4. Round-the-clock heavy loads make regular grease oxidize and fail fast

 

2. Two Common Grease-Selection Mistakes Worsen Wear

1. Copying competitors’ grease without matching your own speed, load and environment

2. Blindly choosing expensive imported grease ignoring material compatibility

Consequences: thrown-off grease, plastic swelling, fast grease deterioration, frequent breakdowns and high maintenance costs.

3. BX-303/A-WY Special Grease for Ball Screws & Linear Guides

Three core strengths solving precision module issues:

1. Strong adhesion: Resists centrifugal force, forms stable protective film to cut wear

2. Metal-plastic compatibility: Safe for alloy steel and mainstream engineering plastics

3. High-temperature anti-oxidation: Long service life, reduces noise and avoids frequent re-greasing

 

4. Cost-Effective Domestic Alternative to Imported Grease
