Description

NSK LPFT 2016-2.5 is a ball screw reference, within Linear motion. Request a quote for LPFT 2016-2.5 via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.

The NSK LPFT series ball screw is a linear transmission component that converts rotation into axial displacement with high efficiency and repeatability. It is used in machine tool axes, automation equipment and positioning systems where precision and rigidity are critical. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this series in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and advises you on choosing the right pitch and length for your application.

The LPFT series designation is read by nominal diameter and pitch: for example, LPFT 2010-2.5 corresponds to a 20 mm diameter screw with a 10 mm pitch, while LPFT 2516-3 indicates 25 mm diameter and 16 mm pitch. The numeric suffix after the hyphen, such as 1.5, 2.5 or 3, identifies the number of ball circuits per nut, which affects the load capacity and rigidity of the assembly. This nomenclature lets you quickly compare the available variants.

In Argentine industry, LPFT ball screws are used in machining centers, CNC milling machines, grinding machines, laser cutting machines and measuring equipment. They also appear in manipulators, coordinate tables and automation systems that require smooth, backlash-free movements. Their ability to withstand axial loads in both directions makes them suitable for repetitive positioning applications in demanding environments.

To select the right ball screw, take into account the axial load, rotation speed, length between supports and allowable backlash. Proper lubrication and sealing against contaminants extend service life. Assembly requires precisely aligning the supports and controlling the nut preload to avoid vibration. If you need help defining these parameters, our technical team can guide you.

NSK ball screws are interchangeable with those from other manufacturers that follow the same standardized dimensions, although performance may vary depending on the internal design and materials. If you have the code from another brand, we can identify the equivalent and quote you the right option. Always check the tolerances and nut type before replacing a component.

To request a quote for the NSK LPFT series ball screw you need, write to us on WhatsApp with the full code or the measurements of your application. At MR Accesorios Industriales we reply promptly with the technical and commercial information. We can also advise you on supports, nuts and complementary accessories for your linear motion system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the suffix mean in an LPFT ball screw such as 2516-2.5?
The suffix indicates the number of ball circuits in the nut. In 2516-2.5, the 2.5 corresponds to that value, which influences load capacity and rigidity. The higher the number, the greater the rigidity, but friction may also increase.
Can I replace a ball screw from another brand with an NSK LPFT one?
Yes, if the main dimensions and pitch match. Ball screws usually follow interchangeability standards, but check the preload and nut type. If you send us the original code, we will tell you the NSK equivalent.
What lubrication do you recommend for an LPFT ball screw?
High-quality grease for ball screws or lubricating oil is recommended, depending on speed and environment. It is important to maintain a constant film and prevent contamination with suitable seals. Ask us about the specific lubricant for your application.
