Ball screw converts rotary motion into linear motion through unique rolling friction transmission mechanism, and realizes accurate conversion of torque and axial force. The existing ball screw mainly adopts two guide modes of outer circulation and inner circulation: in the outer circulation structure, the transition phase of the ball separated from the screw thread exists in the circulation channel, and the inner circulation realizes the continuous contact motion of the ball through the reverser; each complete ball circulation loop constitutes a transmission column, and the number of leads contained determines the number of turns of the transmission system.
[0003] The ball screw used on the existing automatic equipment has become mature, but there are still some deficiencies. During the transmission process of the ball screw, the balls are prone to fall off, which directly leads to the failure of the ball screw to use, and also cannot be repaired by itself, and needs to be returned to the factory for maintenance, with a maintenance cycle of 5-7 working days, which seriously affects the production continuity.
