Impact failure analysis of re-circulating mechanism in ball screw 滚珠丝杠循坏机构的冲击失效分析 Abstract A ball screw driven mechanism is a major component in high-speed/high-precision transmitting systems. In such a mechanism, the return tube has been designed to provide the path for a steel ball rolling in screw grooves. As the driven shaft in the mechanism operates at high rotating speed, forces caused by the impact activity between the steel ball and return tube may gen erate high stresses and cause damage to the return tube after some significant service times. In order to understand the fracture conditions in the return tube, an impact?contact formula is developed and the transient behavior is investigated based on the finite element method in this paper. From results obtained here, it is shown that the rotational speed of the ball screw may affect the service life of the return tube significantly. Factors that affect the service life of the re-circulating mechanism are then described in detail. Further suggestions for the improvement of the return tube in the design/fabrication processes are also proposed in the final part of this paper. 一?个滚珠丝杠驱动机构是在高速/高楷度传递系统…个主要的组件。在这样的一个机构，反向器被设计用來 为钢球在丝杠螺纹屮滚动提供路径。作为机构运作的驱动轴在高转速下、钢球和反向器Z间山冲击活动产 生的高应力和反向器后一些长时间的运行可能進成损坏。为了理解反向器中断裂情况，本文发展了一个冲击 -接触公式，研究了呈于冇限兀方法的瞬态过程。从这甲获得的结果，表明了滚珠丝杠转速的可能显苦冲击 反向器的寿命。循环机构使川寿命的冲击因索将详细讨论。反向器在设计/制造过程的进一步改进意见和建 议也在本文的最后一部分提出。 Introduction A ball screw driven mechanism is a major component in the development of high-speed/high-precision smitting systems? Under the requirement for high-speed transmitting systems such as the recent applications in semiconductor fields, the feed rate of the ball screw is faster than 80 mmin, which is much higher than the conventional rate, 30 mmin「1 or lower. Generally speaking, the requirement of high feed rate can be reached by increasing the rotational speed of the ball screw. However, the maximum rotational speed is restricted by the allowable cl mN value (product of ball pitch
