  • Patent number: 8960038
    Abstract: A motion transmission module with a cooling device is aimed at solving the disadvantage of the conventional motion transmission module that the cooling structure of the conventional motion transmission module would increase the length or outer diameter of the nut. The nut is formed with a flat surface for mounting the cooling device, so that the length of the nut won't be increased. Furthermore, the cooling device also serves as a positioning block to fix the return member, it doesn't increase the outer diameter of the nut.

  • Publication number: 20090090207
    Abstract: An external circulation type ball screw is provided with a helical passage in the outer surface of the nut. The helical passage and the inner helical groove of the nut are opposite in winding direction to each other. The nut is defined with two through holes which are connected to both ends of the inner helical groove and the helical passage, respectively, so that the helical passage and the inner helical groove are connected to each other to form a circulating path for the circulation of the balls. Since the helical passage winds about the outer periphery of the nut, the balls can roll more smoothly.

  • Patent number: 6851722
    Abstract: A coupled circulation tube for a ball screw unit. The tube is formed on a planar surface at one side of the ball screw bearing, each tube joined to two circulation holes. Each circulation tube is formed by coupling two symmetrical rigid metallic half tubes at recessed grooves and flanges interposedly arrayed one after another longitudinally along the wall of each half tube to form a resultant U shaped arcuate elbow tube for ball circulation such that it is firmly constructed with a desired toughness free from loosening, cracking or deforming by constant collision and abrasion of the rolling balls.
