Abstract

Provided is a screw device in which damage to a screw groove in a screw shaft hidden by a nut can be detected with a high degree of probability. At least two circulation parts (4a, 4b) are mounted toa nut (2) so that at least two circulation circuits (c1, c2) in which rolling bodies (3a, 3b) are circulated are formed. The nut (2) is provided with a sensor (12) for detecting the displacement of ascrew groove (1a) in a screw shaft (1) occurring between adjacent circulation circuits (c1, c2).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a screw device capable of detecting damage such as detachment of a screw groove of a screw shaft. Background technique [0002] The screw unit includes a screw shaft, a nut, and rolling elements such as balls interposed between them. A screw groove is formed on the screw shaft. A screw groove facing the screw groove of the screw shaft is formed in the nut. The rolling elements are rotatably interposed between the screw groove of the screw shaft and the screw groove of the nut. Circulation components such as a return pipe are installed on the nut. By attaching the circulation member to the nut, a circulation circuit for circulating the rolling elements can be formed in the screw device. [0003] Lead screw units are used as mechanical elements that convert rotary motion into linear motion. When either one of the screw shaft and the nut is rotated, the other of the screw shaft and the nut moves linearly. When the sc...
