Abstract:
A roller screw of the present invention has a screw shaft 1 having a roller rolling surface 1a spirally formed with a lead on an outer surface thereof; a nut 2 having a roller rolling surface 2a spirally formed on an inner surface thereof to face the roller rolling surface 1a of the screw shaft 1; and a plurality of rollers 4 arranged in a rolling path 3 between the roller rolling surface 1a of the screw shaft 1 and the roller rolling surface 2a of the nut 2 and moving around the screw shaft while rotating on rotation axes of the rollers. In this roller screw, each of the rotation axes 4a of the rollers 4 substantially crosses a center line 1b of the screw shaft 1. Since each of the rotation axes 4a of the rollers 4 crosses the center line 1b of the screw shaft 1 (in other words, the rollers 4 arranged in the rolling path 3 are not skewed from the beginning) even when the rolling path 3 has the lead, the roller 4 are allowed to move smoothly.
Abstract:
There is provided a roller screw in which a twisted amount of an unloaded return path is reduced.The roller screw has a screw shaft 1 having a spiral roller-rolling surface is on an outer peripheral surface thereof; a nut 2 having a spiral loaded roller-rolling surface 2a on an inner peripheral surface thereof, the spiral loaded roller-rolling surface being opposed to the roller-rolling surface is of the screw shaft 1; a circulation member 7 arranged in the nut 2 and formed to have an unloaded return path 8 connecting one end and the other end of the loaded roller-rolling surface 2a, whose turn number is less than one, of the nut 2; and a plurality of rollers 4 arranged in a one-turn roller circulation path composed by a loaded roller-rolling path 6 and the unloaded return path 8. The circulation member 7 guides the rollers which have moved and arrived at the one end of the loaded roller-rolling path 6 having less than one turn, to the unloaded return path 8, and then returns the rollers to the other end of the loaded roller-rolling path 6 having less than one turn. The number of turns of the loaded roller-rolling path 6 is set to be less than one turn, whereby the rollers 4 which have arrived at one end of the loaded roller-rolling path 6 can be transferred to the other end of the loaded roller-rolling path 6 without changing their attitudes.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a roller screw which bears loads in both directions along the axis of the screw shaft and which is also capable of preventing interference between each roller end surface and roller rolling grooves. Between roller rolling surfaces 1a, 1b of the screw shaft 1 and roller rolling surfaces 2a, 2b, respectively, of the nut 2, there are formed two or more roller rolling paths 3a, 3b, respectively. In one roller rolling path 3a, plural rollers 4a are parallel-arranged, and also in another roller rolling path 3b, plural rollers 4b are parallel-arranged. The rollers 4a arranged in the one roller rolling path 3a bear a load in one direction (1) along the axis of the screw shaft 1, while the rollers 4b arranged in the other roller rolling path 3b bear a load in the opposite direction (2) along the axis of the screw shaft 1.

Abstract:
Provided is a roller screw capable of preventing rollers moving from an unloaded return path to a loaded roller rolling path from coming into collision with a scooping portion. The roller screw has: a screw shaft 1 having a spiral roller rolling surface 1a formed on an outer peripheral surface thereof; a nut 2 having a loaded roller rolling surface 2a formed in an inner peripheral surface thereof; a circulation member 3 having an unloaded return path connecting one end of the loaded roller rolling surface 2a of the nut 2 to an opposite end thereof; and a plurality of rollers 4 arranged in a loaded roller rolling path 6 and the unloaded return path. In the circulation member 3, as a scooping portion that juts toward the screw shaft 1 and provided for scooping the rollers 4 moving in the loaded roller rolling path 6 up into the unloaded return path, a pair of diagonal corresponding parts 14 is provided which are in contact with diagonal parts 4e of a rectangular side surface of each roller 4 and a width between which is gradually narrower as they are deeper in the unloaded return path in such a manner that a cross section of the unloaded return path is closer to a rectangle.
Abstract:
A roller screw is provided having a structure suitable for circulating rollers. The roller screw has a screw shaft 5 with a spiral roller rolling groove 5a formed on an outer peripheral surface thereof; a nut 6 with a spiral roller rolling groove 6a opposed to the roller rolling groove of the screw shaft and formed on an inner peripheral surface thereof; and a plurality of rollers 7 arranged in a load roller rolling path 9 between the roller rolling groove 5a of the screw shaft 5 and the roller rolling groove 6a of the nut 6. Inside the nut 6 is provided a roller return path 11 extending linearly in parallel with an axis line of the nut 6. To opposite end faces in an axis line direction of the nut 6 are attached direction change path forming members 13 in which direction change paths 10 to connect the load roller rolling path 9 and the roller return path 11 are formed. The roller return path 11 is twisted to rotate an attitude of each of the rollers 7 while the rollers 7 move in the roller return path 11.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a screw device which takes a heavy load in one direction along the axis of the screw shaft and only a light load in the opposite direction, the screw device capable of providing ease of control of preloading.The screw device of the present invention has a screw shaft 1 with an outer surface having a ball rolling groove 1a for rolling balls 7 and a roller rolling groove 1b for rolling rollers 6 both spirally formed thereon; a ball nut 4 with an inner surface having a ball rolling groove 4a spirally formed thereon facing the ball rolling groove 1a of the screw shaft 1; a roller nut 5 with an inner surface having a roller rolling groove 5a spirally formed thereon facing the roller rolling groove 1b of the screw shaft 1; a plurality of balls 7 arranged between the screw shaft 1 and the ball nut 4; and a plurality of rollers 6 arranged between the screw shaft 1 and the roller nut 5. The ball nut 4 and the roller nut 5 are connected along an axis of the screw shaft 1.
