Abstract:
The invention provides an external circulation type ball screw device comprising screw shaft and nut having first and second screw grooves. A circulation member comprises first leg, second leg and connection portion. The first leg comprises a first end surface having first inner and outer points, and the second leg comprises a second end surface having second inner and outer points; first and second entrances formed on the first and second end surfaces of circulation passage; first and second thickness respectively provided between the first entrance and the first inner and outer points thereof; the second thickness being greater than the first; the third and fourth thickness respectively provided between the second entrance and the second inner and outer points thereof; the fourth thickness being greater than the third. The groove wall of the second screw groove occupied and the occurrence of broken teeth of the nut are reduced.
Abstract:
A circulating element for ball screw includes a first surface defining a circulating passage that extends from one lateral side of the first surface to the other lateral side of the first surface and has a coupling mouth located on each of the two opposite ends thereof, and a second surface defining a coupling groove between the two coupling mouths of the circulating passage and two guide blocks respectively protruding out of the coupling mouths of the circulating passage. Thus, the circulating element has the advantages of low processing cost, ease of installation, high alignment accuracy, and excellent running smoothness.
Abstract:
A circulation member positioning structure for a ball screw includes a nut and a circulation member. The nut has a threaded channel, a socket, and a positioning notch. The socket is provided on a wall of the threaded channel and the positioning notch is provided on a wall of socket. The circulation member has a circulation portion, a circulation track a positioning protrusion. The circulation portion is provided in the socket of the nut. The circulation track is distributed over one lateral of the circulation portion and connects with the threaded channel of the nut. The positioning protrusion is provided on an opposite lateral of the circulation portion for being engaged with the positioning notch of the nut. Thereby, the circulation member positioning structure helps to simplify the assembling work of the circulation member and to remain the nut small. despite the insertion of the circulation member.
