Nut of a planetary roller screw drive, and method for producing such a nut
View Patent ↗A nut ( 1, 13, 21, 25 ) for a planetary roller screw drive is provided. A sleeve ( 14 ) which is produced by metal forming is provided, and two rings ( 16 ) that lie at a fixed distance with respect to each other in the axial direction are provided in this sleeve. In order to engage planets ( 3 ), the one ring ( 16 ) has the one groove profile ( 18 ), and the other ring ( 16 ) has the other groove profile ( 18 ).
1. Nut of a planetary roller screw drive, comprising a sleeve having an inner periphery upon which multiple planets arranged distributed around the inner periphery can roll with their two ends on groove profiles of the nut, wherein one of the groove profiles for the one end of the planets and the other of the groove profiles for the other end of the planets are arranged at a fixed distance relative to each other in an axial direction, the sleeve is produced from sheet metal by a shaping process and two rings are arranged in the sleeve at a fixed distance relative to each other in the axial direction, one of the rings has the one groove profile and the other of the rings has the other groove profile.
2. Nut according to claim 1 , wherein a spacer piece is arranged between the two rings and axial ends of this spacer piece are formed as bearing pads for the rings.
3. Nut according to claim 2 , wherein the rings are provided on ends thereof turned toward each other with support surfaces for contact with the bearing pads.
4. Nut according to claim 1 , wherein the groove profile of the ring extends over a partial width (a) of the ring, wherein a ring width (b) is approximately 1.5 times the partial width (a) or less.
5. Nut according to claim 1 , wherein the inner periphery of the sleeve is provided with bearing pads that are formed in a non-cutting process for the rings.
6. Nut according to claim 5 , wherein the sleeve is provided between the two rings with a ring section that is formed in a non-cutting process and extends inward in a radial direction and includes two axial ends that form the bearing pads.
7. Nut according to claim 5 , wherein the two rings are provided on each of their outer peripheries with a groove in which beads engage that are formed in a non-cutting process on the sleeve and extend inward in a radial direction.
8. Nut according to claim 5 , wherein the sleeve is provided on two ends thereof with radial flanges that are formed in a non-cutting process and are directed inward in the radial direction.
9. Method for producing a nut according to claim 1 , comprising the following steps: arranging the two rings in the sleeve, so that the support surfaces of the rings contact the bearing pads, the sleeve extending in the axial direction past the adjacent ring on at least one axial end, and shaping a projecting end of the sleeve inward in the radial direction for forming a radial flange.
10. Method for producing a nut comprising a sleeve having an inner periphery upon which multiple planets arranged distributed around the inner periphery can roll with their two ends on groove profiles of the nut, wherein one of the groove profiles for the one end of the planets and the other of the groove profiles for the other end of the planets are arranged at a fixed distance relative to each other in an axial direction, the sleeve is produced from sheet metal by a shaping process and two rings are arranged in the sleeve at a fixed distance relative to each other in the axial direction, one of the rings has the one groove profile and the other of the rings has the other groove profile, the method comprising the following steps: arranging and holding the rings in the sleeve at the fixed distance relative to each other, then forming beads in the sleeve and thus in grooves of the rings.
