  • Patent number: 9939055
    Abstract: There are provided a ball screw that more efficiently prevents accumulation and scattering of extra grease in a nut and a seal used in the ball screw. In order to do that, a grease reservoir portion is provided on an inner peripheral surface of a seal provided at an end of a nut on rear side of a moving direction of a ball screw so as to form a space with respect to a screw shaft. The grease reservoir portion is open to an outer peripheral surface of the seal and communicates with slits formed on the outer peripheral surface of the seal.

  • Patent number: 9927010
    Abstract: There is provided a ball screw device capable of allowing interference to be easily elastically deformable and decreasing friction resistance of a seal member with respect to a screw shaft without damaging seal properties of the seal member. A predetermined section of a land sliding-contact portion (46) of a sliding-contact portion (40) and a section of a seal piece (37) of a lip portion (31) corresponding to the predetermined section are bent to protrude in one side in the axial direction of a nut (7) so that a protrusion (55) is formed, the bent section of the land sliding-contact portion (46) and the bent section of the seal piece (37) configure a pair of side surface portions (58, 58) of the protrusion (55) and a bottom portion (61) connecting the one side ends of the pair of side surface portions (58, 58).

  • Patent number: 9003911
    Abstract: A ball screw device even with a small lead angle and a small number of circulation rolls, includes a rotational part, which keeps unequal division of tongue portions and legs connected to the tongue portions to a minimum and ensures the strength of the tongue portions. A recirculating part of the ball screw device includes a pair of legs, each having a tongue portion for scooping up balls in a direction approximately tangential to a spiral raceway, and a main body connecting the pair of legs. First divided faces for dividing the pair of legs along a ball recirculating path, and a second divided face for dividing the main body along the ball recirculating path are also included. The second divided face is formed by an upper divided face and a lower divided face of the ball recirculating path so that the upper divided face and the lower divided face intersect with each other when viewed from a flat surface of the nut.

  • Patent number: 8746102
    Abstract: A ball screw device for reducing damage to a circulating part even during a high speed operation is provided. To this end, the circulating part includes a pair of legs having a tang to scoop up a ball in a direction substantially match with a tangential direction of a spiral path, and a body to connect the pair of legs, wherein a center path diameter Rb of the ball, an internal diameter Rn of the nut, and an internal diameter Rt opposite to the tang satisfy a relationship of Rb ?Rt?Rn.
