Patent number: 7628090Abstract: A circulation passage structure for a ball screw, the circulation passage structure is used to connect the helical groove and the circulation hole of the nut, so as to form a circulation path for a plurality of balls and spacers. Due to the spacers move in a manner of being clamped between two balls, the spacer inside the return path will be pushed to move inward. The degree of curvature of the inner guiding surface connected to the inner curve can be moderated by shifting outward the location of the center of the inner curve and increasing its radius of curvature. By such arrangement, the spacer will not contact the inner guiding surface when it is pushed to move inward, and the spacer can pass through the return passage easily without the problem of impacting the return passage.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2006Date of Patent: December 8, 2009Assignee: Hiwin Technologies Corp.Inventors: Yan-yu Chen, Chien-wei Tsou

Patent number: 7625120Abstract: A roller retainer mounted on a roller comprises a first guiding frame and a second guiding frame that are integrally connected with each other in a vertically staggered manner. The first guiding frame and the second guiding frame are located along the two diagonals of the roller respectively. The thickness of the first guiding frame and the second guiding frame is utilized to keep the space between the two non-loading surfaces of roller and a track. The roller retainer can further keep the space between each roller. Thereby, the roller retainer can prevent the rollers from contacting each other; the loading surfaces can still contact the track and the non-loading surfaces are prevented from colliding with and rubbing against the track, thus reducing the noise and ensuring the moving direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2007Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Hiwin Technologies Corp.Inventors: Hung-Sung Pan, Chien-Wei Tsou

Publication number: 20080115609Abstract: A circulation system for a ball screw comprises: a screw, a nut, a plurality of return assemblies and balls. The positioning groove of the nut is axially formed with an abutting surface for mating with the return assemblies, in the abutting surface is formed a tapered hole for connecting the through hole, and the abutting surface doesn't interfere with the helical groove, on the open end of the returning assemblies connecting to the through hole is formed a protruding turning structure to be engaged in the tapered hole. The design of the return assembly of the present invention can solve the problem that the radius of curvature of the conventional return path is relatively small and the positioning groove destroys the helical groove, thus increasing the radius of curvature of the return path, and relatively improving the ease of rolling of the balls during circulation.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2006Publication date: May 22, 2008Inventors: Chien-Wei TSOU, Wen-Chia WU

Publication number: 20070227278Abstract: A wiper is disposed in the annular groove at either end of the nut, and the wiper is in the form of a flexible ring slightly larger than the annular groove of the nut. An annular conical surface inclined toward the annular groove is formed on the wiper for mating with the outer edge of the nut. A helical wiping portion is formed in the inner surface of each of the wiper for engaging in the screw shaft, and a plurality of slots penetrating the helical wiping portion are formed in the annular conical surface. The design of the slots not only can reduce the wiping resistance but also facilitate the discharge of foreign bodies.
