Description
NSK WBK08S-01 belongs to ball screw support, part of our Linear motion range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for WBK08S-01 and any equivalents.
At the end of a ball screw, a support unit keeps the screw turning with as little friction as possible. The NSK WBK series covers this job in machine tools, machining centers, automation equipment and linear positioning systems where rigidity and accuracy matter. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this series to customers throughout the United States and Latin America, and can help you match a support to your screw diameter and mounting arrangement.
Reading the code is straightforward. The digits after the letters give the nominal screw diameter in millimeters, so the line runs WBK08S-01, WBK10S-01, WBK12S-01, WBK15S-01, WBK17S-01 and WBK20S-01. The S stands for the support configuration, and -01 marks the construction variant inside the series. Because each part number fits one screw size, quote requests should carry the full designation.
Typical installations include milling machines, CNC lathes, Cartesian robots, coordinate tables and inspection equipment, across metalworking, automotive, food and pharmaceutical operations. Depending on how the unit is mounted, it takes up axial and radial loads and helps the axis repeat its position. Machine shops, packaging plants and automated assembly lines are common users.
Selection comes down to three things: screw diameter, whether the end is fixed or floating, and the load and speed the application demands. Alignment between the support and the screw nut has to be precise; when it is off, vibration and early wear follow. Lubricating the internal bearings and keeping contaminants out with effective sealing also shape how long the unit lasts. Bolt tightening and concentricity should follow the manufacturer's guidance.
Interchange with other brands that use the same dimensional nomenclature is possible, though tolerances and load capacities are not always identical. If you only have another maker's number, or a part you cannot identify, send it over and we will point you to the compatible alternative.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the 08 in WBK08S-01 indicate?
- It is the nominal diameter in millimeters of the screw the support carries. The S and the -01 suffix describe the configuration and variant, and every number in the series maps to one screw size.
- When should I use a fixed support instead of a floating one?
- A fixed support goes at the end that carries the axial load and needs the most rigidity. A floating support lets the screw expand with temperature changes. The shaft design and operating conditions decide which one fits.
- Can I replace another brand's support with an NSK WBK unit?
- Often yes, as long as the other brand follows the same dimensional nomenclature. Tolerances and capacities can differ, so send us the part number or the size and we will confirm the equivalent.
