Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nut technology, specifically a split ball nut. Background Technology
[0002] The ball nut is the core component of the ball screw transmission system. It works with the screw to convert rotary motion into linear motion. It can achieve high-precision positioning and eliminate backlash through the preload structure. It is widely used in CNC machine tools, robots, precision instruments and other equipment. According to the structure, it is divided into single nuts and double nuts. Double nuts are preloaded by means of washers, threads and other methods to meet higher precision requirements. It is a key component of modern precision transmission.
[0003] Currently, when ball nuts are used, under high-speed operating conditions, the balls and raceways of the ball nut generate a large amount of heat due to continuous rolling friction. This heat easily accumulates inside the nut, causing abnormal temperature rise. Excessive temperature can cause thermal deformation of the nut and lead screw, destroying the originally precise fit clearance and directly affecting the transmission positioning accuracy. At the same time, high temperature will accelerate the deterioration and failure of lubricating grease, aggravate wear on the metal surface, and cause pitting, peeling and other damage to the raceway, significantly shortening the service life of the lead screw and nut, and posing a serious threat to the stable operation of precision machinery.
