SFU3205 Heavy-Duty Rolled Ball Screw for CNC Machining Centers
SFU3205 heavy-duty rolled ball screw with 32 mm shaft and 5 mm lead, delivering 22.5 kN dynamic load at C7 precision grade. The 32 mm diameter provides 2.5Γ the bending stiffness of SFU2510, making it ideal for VMC feed axes, CNC lathe Z-axis, and gantry mill applications where spindle head weight and cutting forces demand high rigidity.
Highlights
- 32 mm shaft provides 2.5Γ the bending stiffness of SFU2510, reducing deflection under heavy spindle head weight
- 22.5 kN dynamic load with 34.8 kN static β sufficient for 1-ton-class VMC feed axes with 2Γ safety margin
- 5 mm lead prioritizes positioning resolution: 0.01Β° motor step = 0.14 Β΅m linear travel for fine VMC Z-axis depth control
- Standard lengths up to 4000 mm β covers full VMC X-axis travel and large gantry Y-axis without splice joints
- Complete assembly with end-machined shaft for BK32/BF32 blocks and pre-loaded single flange nut
- 250 kW induction hardening capability ensures HRC 58β62 with 2.0 mm case depth for sustained heavy-cycle duty

User Pain Point + Solution + Data
VMC (vertical machining center) feed axes carry spindle head weights of 80β150 kg plus cutting reaction forces, demanding ball screws that resist both static deflection and dynamic shock. The SFU3205 addresses this with a 32 mm shaft diameter that increases bending stiffness by 2.5Γ versus the SFU2510, and a 5 mm lead that prioritizes positioning resolution over feed speed. At C7 grade, lead accuracy is Β±0.05 mm/300 mm β adequate for VMC X/Y/Z axes where the machine controller compensates for lead error via mapping. Dynamic load reaches 22.5 kN with the single flange nut, sufficient for 1-ton-class VMC feed axes.

Product Advantages
32 mm Shaft for VMC Rigidity
The 32 mm shaft diameter increases the second moment of area by 2.5Γ versus 25 mm, directly reducing static deflection under heavy spindle head weight. This maintains positioning accuracy without intermediate support bearings on axes up to 2 m.
High Rigidity5 mm Lead for Resolution
5 mm lead prioritizes positioning resolution over feed speed: each 0.01Β° motor step equals 0.14 Β΅m linear travel. Combined with the 32 mm shaft's rigidity, this makes the SFU3205 ideal for VMC Z-axis (spindle feed) where fine depth control matters.
5 mm Lead4 m Standard Length
Standard lengths up to 4000 mm β covers full VMC X-axis travel (typically 800β1500 mm) and large gantry mill Y-axis (up to 3 m) in a single piece. No splice joint alignment issues on standard machine configurations.
4000 mm22.5 kN for 1-Ton-Class VMC
22.5 kN dynamic load with 34.8 kN static β sufficient for 1-ton-class VMC feed axes including the spindle head weight, workpiece, and cutting reaction forces with a 2Γ safety margin on dynamic loading.
