By extending the range of options available to the OEM, particularly for low volume orders, while maintaining a typical delivery time of just 10 days, THK is able to provide an effective ballscrew solution for the majority of applications, quickly and efficiently.
THK ballscrews available under the Fast Lane service include standard rolled ballscrews models BTK, BT BNT and BLK (Large Lead).
Designated C7 (+/- 0.05/300mm) and C10 (+/-0.2/300mm).
Precision ground ballscrew nuts, models EIK and DK, are also available from stock nuts and ground shafts ready for final assembly to order.
The range is guaranteed C5 accuracy and individual lead check certificates can be supplied if requested at the time of order.
Completing the Fast Lane range of products is a collection of high-quality support bearings, including fixed-side rectangular types (model BK) and fixed-side round types (model FK), with a complimentary range of radial only 'floating' supports BF and FF.
