Ball screw for producing a threaded nut of a ball screw drive
View Patent ↗A method for producing a threaded nut ( 10, 26 ) of a screw drive, in particular of a ball screw ( 7, 24 ), which threaded nut ( 10, 26 ) has, on one axial end, a recess ( 45 ) which extends over a circumferential segment and which is open at the end side, wherein said recess ( 45 ) is delimited radially by a circumferential wall of the threaded nut ( 10, 26 ), and wherein said recess ( 45 ) is delimited axially by a base ( 54 ) formed on the threaded nut ( 10, 26 ), and wherein said recess ( 45 ) is delimited in the circumferential direction by a stop surface ( 47 ), which is formed on the threaded nut ( 10, 26 ), for a projection ( 44 ), produced according to the following steps: a blank is deformed in a deformation process by deformation of material so as to form the recess ( 45 ), wherein the base ( 54 ) and the stop surface ( 47 ) and the circumferential wall are integrally connected to one another.
1. A method for producing a threaded nut of a screw drive, the threaded nut has, on one axial end, a recess which extends over a circumferential segment and which is open at an end, said recess is delimited radially by a circumferential wall of the threaded nut, and said recess is delimited axially by a base formed on the threaded nut, and said recess is delimited in a circumferential direction by a stop surface which is formed on the threaded nut, for a projection, the threaded nut being produced according to the following steps:
deforming a blank in a deformation process by deformation of material so as to form the recess, with the base and the stop surface and the circumferential wall being integrally connected to one another.
2. The method for producing a threaded nut of a ball screw as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the blank is deformed by a cold extrusion process.
3. The method for producing a threaded nut of a ball screw as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the blank is deformed in a semi-hot state at temperatures between 600° C. and 950° C.
4. The method for producing a threaded nut of a ball screw as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising, forming on an inner circumference of the threaded nut a helical ball groove about an axis in a cutting process by turning.
5. The method for producing a threaded nut of a ball screw as claimed in claim 4 , wherein after the turning process, additionally machining the ball groove by furrowing.
6. The method for producing a threaded nut of a ball screw as claimed in claim 1 , wherein subsequently to the deformation process and the production of the ball groove, hardening the threaded nut.
