Rotary-linear actuator with optimised rollers
View Patent ↗According to the invention, an actuator device comprises rollers positioned and guided by spacer rings, and an assembly consisting of said rollers and said rings is provided between a male part and a female part. The rollers include synchronization pinions arranged at the ends thereof and include, on the threaded portion located between said pinions, annular grooves used as a journal for interfacing with open bearings in the form of notches provided on each spacer ring.
1. An actuator device comprising satellite rollers positioned and guided by spacer rings between a male part and a female part, wherein each of said satellite rollers comprises two synchronization pinions arranged at both ends of said satellite rollers and, on a threaded part of said satellite rollers located between said pinions, said satellite rollers comprise at least one annular neck serving as a journal which cooperates with bearings in the form of open notches provided on said spacer ring for said satellite rollers.
2. The actuator device according to claim 1 , comprising said satellite rollers having an annular neck arranged between each pinion and said threaded part, said annular necks serves as a journal which cooperates with each spacer ring.
3. The actuator device according to claim 2 , wherein said bearings are in the form of radially open notches in said spacer rings.
4. The actuator device according to claim 3 , wherein said radially notches opening towards said male part.
5. The actuator device according to claim 3 , wherein said radially notches open towards said female part.
6. The actuator device according to claim 1 , wherein the diameter of said journals is on the order of half the diameter of said satellite rollers, and the length of said journals is on the same order as the diameter of said journals.
