5. Allowable Rotational Speed
Ball screw rotational speed is determined by required feed speed and the given screw lead, and needs to be less than the Allowable Maximum Rotational Speed.
Ball screw rotational speed is evaluated based on the shaft's critical speed and ball recirculation speed limitation DmN value.
5-1. Critical Speed
Allowable rotational speed is defined as a speed 80% or less of the Critical Speed where the rotational speed coincides with a natural resonant frequency of the screw shaft.
The Allowable Rotational Speed can be obtained by the following formula.
Additionally, approximate Allowable Rotational Speeds can be obtained from Table 2. Allowable Maximum Rotational Speed Graph.

5-2. DmN Value
The DmN value represents a ball recirculation (orbit) speed limit within a ball nut.
If this vale is exceeded, the recirculation components will be damaged.
