The present invention can prevent leakage of a
lubricant during normal use, can easily
discharge old
lubricant when
lubricant is supplied, prevents damage to a seal, and can maintain a good
lubrication state. A
ball screw (10) comprises: a screw shaft (20), in the outer
peripheral surface of which is formed a screw groove (21); a nut (30), in the inner
peripheral surface of which is formed a screw groove (31); a plurality of balls (22) which roll in a load track that is constituted by the screw groove (21) of the screw shaft (20) and the screw groove (31) of the nut (30); and a seal member (50) which is attached to an axial end part of the nut (30) and which seals a gap (12) between the screw shaft (20) and the nut (30). The seal member (50) has a lubricant
discharge part (13). The lubricant
discharge part (13) is closed in a state where the pressure inside the nut (30) and the pressure outside the
ball screw (10) are the same, and opens to allow passage therethrough the axial direction of the screw shaft (20) when the pressure inside the nut (30) increases.
