Abstract: A rolling-body screw drive includes a threaded spindle and a threaded nut (10) enclosing the threaded spindle, a helically running threaded channel being provided between an outer circumferential surface of the threaded spindle and an inner circumferential surface (24) of the threaded nut (10), the threaded channel forming, together with a return channel (50) which connects the two end regions of the threaded channel, an endless circulatory channel in which an endless series of rolling bodies is accommodated. A deflecting element (32, 34) is mounted in a cutout (28, 30) in the nut adjacent each end region of the threaded channel. Each deflecting element has a deflecting channel (64) for transferring the rolling bodies between the threaded channel and the return channel (50) and between the return channel (50) and the threaded channel.
