Ball Screw Support Units: BK/BF Fixed and Floating Ends

A ball screw support holds the ends of a ball screw. The BK unit is the fixed end, with paired angular contact bearings that take thrust, and the BF unit is the floating end, with a deep groove bearing that lets the screw expand. Pick the BK/BF size to match the screw's end-journal diameter.

Fixed and floating ball screw support: how BK and BF work together

Every ball screw needs a ball screw end support at each end. The BK bf support unit pair is the standard layout on CNC routers: BK on the motor side holds the screw axially with a ball screw support bearing set, and BF on the far end supports it radially only. This fixed and floating ball screw support layout stops thermal growth from bending the screw. TriQuench India lists an FK-15 fixed-side support unit and BK-BF ball nut housings, and ships every ball screw support in India from Ahmedabad.

Ball Screw Support (BK/BF): frequently asked questions

What is the difference between BK and BF ball screw supports?

BK is the fixed-side support: it holds the screw axially with a pair of preloaded angular contact bearings and a lock nut, so it takes the thrust. BF is the floating-side support: a single deep groove bearing supports the screw radially and lets it slide as it grows with heat. Use one of each per screw.

How do I install BK/BF supports?

Fit the BK unit at the motor end and tighten its lock nut to the bearing preload; fit the BF unit at the far end with its circlip. Align both units to the nut with the screw turning freely by hand along the full stroke, shimming if needed, then tighten the bolts and connect the coupling. A screw that binds at one end is misaligned.

What is the price of BK BF support units?

BK bf support price depends on size (BK10 to BK20 and above), bearing grade and quantity. Tell us the screw size or end-journal drawing and we quote the BK/BF pair, often with the screw, nut and coupling.
