Abstract

A planetary roller gear drive with a spindle nut ( 1 ) that is arranged on a threaded spindle ( 2 ) and with planets ( 3 ) that are arranged distributed around the periphery and are in rolling engagement with the spindle nut ( 1 ) and the threaded spindle ( 2 ). The planets ( 3 ) revolve on planetary orbits (P) that are arranged perpendicular to the spindle axis and the planets ( 3 ) are each divided into multiple planet parts arranged one behind the other in the axial direction.

Claims (10)

1. A planetary roller gear drive comprising a spindle nut that is arranged on a threaded spindle, planets are arranged distributed around a periphery of the threaded spindle and are in rolling engagement with the spindle nut and the threaded spindle, the planets revolve on planetary orbits that are perpendicular to a spindle axis, the planets are arranged one behind another in an axial direction, the planets each include a first profile that engages the threaded spindle and a second profile that engages the spindle nut, axially adjacent ends of the planets are supported in a common synchronizing ring, and the common synchronizing ring is arranged within the spindle nut and can rotate in the spindle nut.

2. The planetary roller gear drive according to claim 1 , wherein an axial distance (a) is provided between the planets.

3. The planetary roller gear drive according to claim 1 , wherein spacer rings are arranged to rotate in the spindle nut and the spacer rings include a common bearing seat for the planets.

4. The planetary roller gear drive according to claim 3 , wherein one of the spacer rings is arranged on each of two axial sides of the planets, and the two axial outer sides of the planets are each supported in one of the spacer rings.

5. The planetary roller gear drive according to claim 1 , wherein ends of each planet include pins, each of the pins are supported in a common bearing seat of the common synchronizing ring, and the common bearing seat has an axial extension that is greater than a total of an axial insertion depth of the two pins into the common bearing seat.

6. The planetary roller gear drive according to claim 1 , wherein the spindle nut is formed by a plurality of nut parts that are arranged one behind another in the axial direction.

7. The planetary roller gear drive according to claim 1 , wherein the spindle nut is formed by a plurality of nut parts that are arranged one behind another in the axial direction, and the nut parts are each provided with a receptacle for the common synchronizing ring.

8. The planetary roller gear drive according to claim 7 , wherein two receptacles together form a sliding bearing seat for the common synchronizing ring.

9. The planetary roller gear drive according to claim 1 , wherein the common synchronizing ring is formed from a sliding bearing material.

10. The planetary roller gear drive according to claim 9 , wherein the sliding bearing material is bronze.
