Compact FA series ballscrews feature a design that achieves quiet, high-speed performance.

The Compact FA offers fast and quiet operation, and the enhanced design of the series increases rotational speeds by up to 60%, to a maximum of 5,000rpm. This design allows for increased performance in a wide variety of applications spanning the semiconductor, medical, factory automation and general manufacturing industries.

In addition to increased speed, the Compact FA series provides a more compact, low-profile design with diameters of ball nuts measuring as much as 30% less than in traditional models. Operating noise has also been reduced by 6dB, approximately half of what is sensed by the ear.

Lubrication for the Compact FA series is made possible via a grease fitting, while two ports allow for easy maintenance or inclusion into an integrated lubrication system. New sealing technology minimizes grease dispersion, contributing to a cleaner working environment. Optional K1 lubrication units can be used to further extend the product life of the Compact FA series.
