Publication number: 20230383826Abstract: A ball screw device that is capable of transmitting an axial load between the screw portion and the holding member without shortening the life of the ball screw device is provided. The stopper 5 is externally fitted to the fitting shaft portion 10 of the screw shaft 2 having an outer diameter smaller than that of the screw portion 9, which is provided adjacent to one side in the axial direction of the screw portion 9 provided with the shaft-side ball thread groove 12 on the outer-circumferential surface, so as not to be able to rotate relative to each other. The driving member 6 which is a holding member is arranged adjacent to the one side in the axial direction of the stopper 5 such that the stopper 5 is held in the axial direction between the driving member 6 and the screw portion 9. An axial load is transmitted between the driving member 6 and the screw portion 9 without applying a moment to the stopper 5.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2022Publication date: November 30, 2023Applicant: NSK LTD.Inventor: Ryo SEGAWA

Patent number: 9989131Abstract: A chain guide is provided that allows for stable running of a chain, causes less wear or damage on the inner surface of mounting holes or on mounting shafts, and improves the durability without increasing production cost. The guide shoe includes a guide rail and a unit holding part that accommodates a reinforcing unit inserted thereinto from the backside of the guide rail. The reinforcing unit includes a plate and a spacer. The plate and spacer are aligned in a guide width direction, so that a plate through hole and a spacer through hole are continuous in the guide width direction, and are disposed in the unit holding part 22.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2016Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: TSUBAKIMOTO CHAIN CO.Inventors: Takahiro Matsushita, Manabu Hirayama, Ryo Segawa
