Ball screw
The invention relates to a ball screw ( 10 ) with a threaded spindle ( 12 ), a nut ( 14 ), rolling bodies ( 16 ) and at least one deflecting device ( 18, 20 ), wherein the threaded spindle ( 12 ) is displaceable by rotation, and wherein the deflecting device comprises an inner first body part ( 18 ) and an outer second body part ( 20 ), which body parts together form a deflecting channel ( 22 ), wherein the deflecting channel ( 22 ) has two tubular ends ( 24, 26 ) which are connected to each other via a transfer region ( 28 ), wherein the tubular ends ( 24, 26 ) of the deflecting channel are in each case formed by mutually complementary partial tubular sections ( 30, 32, 34, 36 ) of the body parts ( 18, 20 ), and wherein a sleeve ( 40 ) surrounding the nut ( 14 ) is provided, the deflecting device ( 18, 20 ) sits in an opening ( 42 ) in the nut ( 14 ), the deflecting device ( 18, 20 ) projects radially beyond the outer lateral surface of the nut ( 14 ) in a relaxed state when the sleeve ( 40 ) is absent and, in the presence of the sleeve ( 40 ), said sleeve exerts a radially inwardly directed force on the deflecting device ( 18, 20 ).
1. A ball screw ( 10 ) comprising a threaded spindle ( 12 ), a nut ( 14 ), a plurality of rolling bodies ( 16 ) and at least one deflection device ( 18 , 20 ), wherein the threaded spindle ( 12 ) is displaceable relative to the nut ( 14 ) in an axial direction by rotation relative to the nut ( 14 ), and the deflection device comprises a radially inner first body part ( 18 ) and a radially outer second body part ( 20 ), which together form a deflection channel ( 22 ) for the rolling bodies,
the deflection channel ( 22 ) has two substantially tubular ends ( 24 , 26 ) that form rolling body openings, which are interconnected via a transfer region ( 28 ),
the first body part ( 18 ) in the transfer region ( 28 ) provides a radially inner delimitation of the deflection channel ( 22 ),
the second body part ( 20 ) in the transfer region ( 28 ) provides a radially outer delimitation and side delimitations of the deflection channel ( 22 ),
the tubular ends ( 24 , 26 ) of the deflection channel are each formed by complementary, partial-tube portions ( 30 , 32 , 34 , 36 ) of both the first body ( 18 ) and the second body ( 20 ), and
a sleeve ( 40 ) which surrounds the nut ( 14 ) is provided, the deflection device ( 18 , 20 ) is positioned in an opening ( 42 ) in the nut ( 14 ), the deflection device ( 18 , 20 ), when relieved of tension in the absence of the sleeve ( 40 ), protrudes radially beyond an outer lateral surface of the nut ( 14 ), and, when the sleeve ( 40 ) is present, it exerts a radially inwardly directed force on the deflection device ( 18 , 20 ).
2. The ball screw ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the partial-tube portions ( 30 , 32 , 34 , 36 ) of both the first body part ( 18 ) and the second body part ( 20 ) are each shaped as a half tube at least at one end of the deflection channel ( 22 ).
3. The ball screw ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the two body parts ( 18 , 20 ) have a same radial length at least at one end of the deflection channel ( 22 ).
4. The ball screw ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the second body part ( 20 ) in the transfer region ( 28 ) provides a U-shaped delimitation ( 38 ) of the deflection channel ( 22 ).
5. The ball screw ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the first body part ( 18 ) is a deep-drawn, punched, or stamped part.
6. The ball screw ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the second body part ( 20 ) is a punched or stamped part.
7. The ball screw ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the radial force of the sleeve ( 40 ) onto the deflection device ( 18 , 20 ) presses the second body part ( 20 ) onto the first body part ( 18 ) at least in a temperature range of between −50 and +150° C.
8. The ball screw according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of interconnected deflection devices are provided, and at least one of the respective first body parts ( 18 ) or the respective second body parts ( 20 ) are interconnected.
