Rockford Ball Screw

Products:

• BEARING MOUNTS:

Rockford Ball Screw offers standard bearing mounts in five (5) available configurations:

1. Simple radial – R/B/S model BMR
2. Simple angular – R/B/S model BM
3. Fixed angular – R/B/S model BMF
4. Compact Simple angular – R/B/S model BMBK
5. Compact Simple radial – R/B/S model BMBF

• SIMPLE RADIAL BEARING MOUNTS (BMR BEARING MOUNTS):

Overview of BMR:

1. Considered "simple" support
2. Float of the bearing in the housing allows for shaft expansion
3. Standard end machining available
4. Predrilled for face or foot mounting

• COMPACT SIMPLE RADIAL BEARING MOUNTS (BMBF BEARING MOUNTS):

The BMBF compact series bearing mounts are SIMPLE RADIAL supports that utilize shielded Radial ball bearings for supporting radial load components. These bearing mounts are NOT intended to support axial load components of force. Consult engineering for application assistance if required.

The BMBF is a virtually a compact version of our standard BMR bearing mount and is dimensionally interchangeable with other “BF Style” bearing mounts found in the industry.

• BEARING MOUNTS:

RBS offers one of the most complete lines of standard bearing mounts in the industry. Mounts can be shipped loose for customer installation or preassembled to the screw at our factory. If shipped loose, please note that the bearings have an interference fit to the shaft and that installation procedures in accordance with those recommended by rolling element bearing manufacturers need to be implemented. Please consult our factory for additional details.

• SIMPLE RADIAL BEARING MOUNTS (BMR BEARING MOUNTS):

The BMR series bearing mounts are SIMPLE RADIAL supports utilizing shielded Radial ball bearings for supporting radial load components. These bearing mounts are NOT intended to support axial load components of force. Please consult Rockford Ball Screw’s engineering Tech Team for application assistance if required.

BMR uses a deep groove radial ball bearing. The BMR mount is well suited for high duty cycle conditions where frictional forces may cause a thermal transfer of energy into the screw assembly. The resulting thermal migration will cause the screw to expand axially and occasionally can lead to catastrophic failure.

• SIMPLE ANGULAR BEARING MOUNTS (BM BEARING MOUNTS):

1. Can support a combination of radial and axial loads
2. Considered "simple" support
3. Standard end machining available
4. Predrilled for face or foot mounting
5. Contact us for bearing support capacities

• COMPACT SIMPLE ANGULAR BEARING MOUNTS (BMBK BEARING MOUNTS):

The BMBK compact series bearing mounts are SIMPLE supports that utilize a set of Angular Contact ball bearings mounted face to face. These bearing mounts are designed to support radial and axial load components of force. Consult engineering for application assistance if required.

The BMBK is virtually a compact version of our standard BM bearing mount and is dimensionally interchangeable with other “BK Style” bearing mounts found in the industry.
