Abstract: A ball screw assembly having a bearing ball recirculation arrangement. The ball screw assembly includes a ball screw, a nut body, at least one cap, and at least two yolk deflectors. The assembly may include a set of bearing balls disposed between the ball screw and the nut body in a load bearing path. The two yolk deflectors may each define a surface to engage bearing balls exiting or entering a return path.

Abstract: A ball screw assembly having a bearing ball recirculation arrangement. The ball screw assembly includes a ball screw, a nut, and at least one set of two return plugs and at least one cap. The nut body is in threaded engagement with the ball screw, wherein one of the ball screw and the nut body is rotationally fixed relative the other. Each plug may be seated into a cavity on an outer surface of the nut body. The cap may have a recessed channel at least partially defining a return path for bearing balls from one end of a load bearing path to another end of a load bearing path.
