  • Patent number: 10018257
    Abstract: A roller screw mechanism comprises a screw having an outer thread and a nut disposed around and coaxially with the screw. The nut comprises an inner thread. A plurality of rollers are disposed radially between the screw and the nut; each roller being provided with an outer thread engaged with the outer and inner threads of the screw and of the nut and with two outer gear teeth. The mechanism also comprises two synchronizing gear teeth that are each engaged with one of the gear teeth of the rollers. An outside diameter of each gear teeth of each roller is less than a diameter of a root of the thread of the roller. Each tooth of the gear teeth of the rollers comprises planar faces that engage with the synchronizing gear teeth.

  • Patent number: 9517518
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a nut in a screw and nut system comprises a first material removal stage to form an internal thread of which the value of the nominal diameter is lower than a predetermined final nominal diameter value and a second plastic deformation stage of the thread formed during the first stage to obtain the predetermined final value by material displacement.

  • Patent number: 9267587
    Abstract: A roller screw mechanism provided with a screw having an external thread, a nut surrounding and coaxial with the screw, the nut including an internal thread, two gear wheels mounted in a non-threaded part of the nut, each gear wheel providing a first set of teeth having a plurality of internal teeth, and a plurality of rollers radially located between the screw and the nut, each roller having an external thread designed to engage the external and internal threads of the screw and the nut, and axially at each end a first set of teeth having a plurality of gear teeth designed to engage with the internal gear teeth of the gear wheels. The outer diameter of the gear teeth of each roller is less or equal to the diameter of the thread root of the external thread of the roller.
