  • Publication number: 20230092826
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a planetary roller screw having: a nut arranged on a threaded spindle and divided crosswise to a spindle axis into two nut parts; planetary rollers arranged between the threaded spindle and the nut distributed over the circumference, the planetary rollers intermeshing with the nut parts and with the threaded spindled; a rotatingly driven planetary roller carrier arranged on the threaded spindle, in pockets of which, arranged distributed over the circumference, the planetary rollers are mounted, held at a distance in the circumferential direction, so as to be rotatable about the planetary roller axis; and a housing in which the planetary roller carrier is rotatably mounted. A pre-loading device is provided in order to adjust an axial pre-load between the housing and the planetary rollers.

  • Publication number: 20220373066
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a planetary roller screw drive comprising a threaded spindle nut, a horizontal threaded spindled, a plurality of planetary rolling elements having a planetary rolling element profile, and at least two planetary guide rings. The threaded spindle is arranged concentrically in the planetary guide rings and the spindle nut. The planetary guide rings can be rotated relative to the threaded spindle and the planetary rolling elements are mounted so as to be rotatable about their associated planetary rolling element axis in the planetary guide rings and inside the spindle nut. The planetary rolling element profile of the planetary rolling elements meshes with the threaded spindle. The planetary guide rings are connected to a housing case for conjoint rotation, and the housing case has a housing case lateral surface on which a toothing is formed for coupling in a geared manner to with a continuous traction mechanism.
