[0003] Some existing mechanical ball screws generally require regular maintenance after a period of use. However, as the intensity of production tasks increases, the frequency of device operation will also increase. At this time, a fixed maintenance cycle cannot guarantee the stability of device operation, which is inconvenient. Utility Model Content
