Abstract: The threaded nut of a ball screw drive is adapted for applications that constrain the axial length such as brake boosters. The threaded nut includes an outer sealing surface suitable for sealing the threaded nut within a housing to form a pressurized chamber. The ball channels are at least partially axially overlapping with the outer sealing surface. Some embodiments may also include a ring groove on the outer periphery for receiving a sealing ring. Some embodiments may further include an inner sealing surface axially adjacent to the ball channels.
