Description
16mm Ball Screw Kit – SFU1610 -1000mm – Type A – Complete Precision Assembly for Sophisticated Motion Control
Explore the world of precision and efficiency with our 16mm Ball Screw Kit – SFU1610 -1000mm – Type A. It’s ideal for tasks that require detailed motion control. With outstanding accuracy, this kit enhances your CNC machining, robotics, and linear actuation projects.
The core of the kit is the SFU1610 Ball Screw coupled with a high-quality nut. Together they provide minimal backlash and smooth conversion from rotational to linear motion. The included DSG16H Nut Housing offers a solid casing for the ball nut, boosting stability and alignment.
For support, the kit features BF12 and BK12 Ball Screw Supports. The BF12 Floating Support accommodates flexible axial movement to manage misalignments. In contrast, the BK12 Fixed Support ensures a stable base for your ball screw, preventing any lateral movement.
Our ball screw is engineered for maximum efficiency, requiring less torque and consuming less energy than standard lead screws. With this kit, you achieve not just fluid motion but also increased precision in your equipment, while saving on costs. If you can use this kit, you definitely should.
Key Features:
- SFU1610 Ball Screw & Nut: Precision-machined for smooth operation and minimal backlash.
- DSG16 Nut Housing: Shields the ball nut and ensures optimal alignment.
- BF12 Floating Support: Allows for slight axial adjustments and prolongs the ball screw’s lifespan.
- BK12 Fixed Support: Secures the ball screw in place, providing a stable base for operations.

Exploring the SFU1610’s Applications:
The versatility of the SFU1610 extends beyond traditional uses. Its high precision makes it ideal for advanced scientific equipment, where accuracy can be the difference between success and failure. Additionally, its robustness is suited for industrial settings where reliable performance under continuous operation is crucial.
In the realm of hobbyist and DIY projects, the SFU1610 enables the creation of sophisticated machinery, such as custom CNC routers or 3D printers, where precision motion is key. Its ease of installation and compatibility with various systems make it a favourite among enthusiasts.
- Linear Actuators:
The simplest way to use the SFU1610 is to mount it using a Ball Screw Support at each end and a Ball Nut Housing to hold and move a Gantry Plate. Make sure to use a Floating Support like the BF12 Floating Ball Screw Support on the floating end of the Ball Screw and a Fixed Support such as the BK12 Fixed Ball Screw Support for the fixed end. Then you can use a DSG16H Ball Nut Housing mounted on your Ball Nut and attach it to whatever you need to move, or use a Gantry Plate for a larger surface area.Other Mounting:
Try the Flange Mounted Options: the FF12 Floating Ball Screw Support and the FK12 Fixed Ball Screw Support, if the BF and BK Supports aren’t the right fit for you
- 3D Printing:
Enhance precision in your 3D printing projects. Pair the SFU1610 with our 3D Printer Controller Pack including Mega 2560 and RAMPS 1.4 for optimal control. Also compatible with our Nema 17 Stepper Motors for smooth and accurate movement. - Robotics:
Build or upgrade robotic arms and manipulators with the SFU1610. Check out our Robotics parts to find some commonly used components, or look at our curated MakerBotics selection. Our 12V-24V Geared-DC Motors can also be used for additional power and control in your robotic projects. - CNC Machine Upgrades:
If you’re confident enough to build some custom plates for your CNC routers, mills, and lathes, the SFU1610 will improve the accuracy and motor efficiency of your machine. For further upgrades, consider using this ball screw with our popular xPRO V5 Motion Control System or E5X MCS T4.1 for enhanced machining accuracy. - DIY and Hobbyist Projects:
The SFU1610 is perfect for hobbyists creating custom machinery. Grab an Arduino and a Sensor Pack and you can create enough stuff to keep you busy for years.
Best Suited Applications:
The SFU1610 is optimized for uses requiring high precision and accuracy, such as CNC machinery, robotics, automation systems, and other sophisticated equipment. Therefore, it suits applications where efficiency, smooth operation, and minimal backlash are critical.
