Designed to combine precise linear motion with simultaneous spline torque transmission, it enables compact, high-speed positioning while preventing shaft rotation. Commonly installed in industrial robots, semiconductor equipment, automated assembly systems, machine tools, and precision automation machinery. Maintenance teams and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/collections\/hmi-operator-interfaces\"\u003esystem integrators\u003c\/a\u003e use this assembly for equipment repair, retrofit, expansion, and replacement. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"5ms9th\" data-start=\"689\" data-end=\"706\"\u003eApplications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"708\" data-end=\"1453\"\u003eThe THK BNS1616AE448.5LC5 belongs to the THK BNS Series Ball Screw\/Spline product family, which integrates a ball screw and a ball spline on a single shaft. The BNS1616 model features a 16 mm screw shaft diameter and a 16 mm lead, allowing simultaneous linear feed and torque transmission without requiring a separate guide mechanism. The \"448.5L\" designation identifies an overall screw shaft length of 448.5 mm, while \"C5\" specifies the precision accuracy grade. The \"AE\" suffix is a THK factory configuration code related to shaft-end machining or customer-specific specifications and is not publicly decoded by THK; therefore, its meaning should not be inferred without the original engineering drawing. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"5hg6bl\" data-start=\"1455\" data-end=\"1484\"\u003eTechnical Specifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1486\" data-end=\"2310\"\u003e• Brand: THK\u003cbr data-start=\"1498\" data-end=\"1501\"\u003e• Part Number: BNS1616AE448.5LC5\u003cbr data-start=\"1533\" data-end=\"1536\"\u003e• Product Type: Linear Ball Screw \/ Ball Screw Spline Assembly\u003cbr data-start=\"1598\" data-end=\"1601\"\u003e• Series: BNS (Linear-Rolling Motion Model)\u003cbr data-start=\"1644\" data-end=\"1647\"\u003e• Screw Shaft Diameter: 16 mm\u003cbr data-start=\"1676\" data-end=\"1679\"\u003e• Lead: 16 mm\u003cbr data-start=\"1692\" data-end=\"1695\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e• Overall Screw Shaft Length: 448.5 mm\u003cbr data-start=\"1733\" data-end=\"1736\"\u003e• Accuracy Grade: C5\u003cbr data-start=\"1756\" data-end=\"1759\"\u003e• Ball Center Diameter: 16.65 mm\u003cbr data-start=\"1791\" data-end=\"1794\"\u003e• Ball Screw Nut Outside Diameter: 52 mm\u003cbr data-start=\"1834\" data-end=\"1837\"\u003e• Flange Diameter: 68 mm\u003cbr data-start=\"1861\" data-end=\"1864\"\u003e• Ball Screw Nut Length: 43.5 mm\u003cbr data-start=\"1896\" data-end=\"1899\"\u003e• Motion Type: Simultaneous Linear Motion and Torque Transmission\u003cbr data-start=\"1964\" data-end=\"1967\"\u003e• Ball Screw Type: Precision Ground Ball Screw\/Spline\u003cbr data-start=\"2020\" data-end=\"2023\"\u003e• Lubrication: Grease or Oil Compatible\u003cbr data-start=\"2062\" data-end=\"2065\"\u003e• Material: Hardened Alloy Steel\u003cbr data-start=\"2097\" data-end=\"2100\"\u003e• Features: Integrated ball screw and ball spline, compact construction, high-speed operation, high positioning accuracy, low friction, simultaneous linear travel and torque transmission, and long service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2312\" data-end=\"2514\"\u003eNote: The suffix \"AE\" is a proprietary THK manufacturing code.
