ABSTRACT:
Varying fluid pressure varies the thickness of an elastic spacer between ball nuts of the ball screw. The spacer thickness determines opposed axial forces applied to the ball nuts. During a high-speed excursion of the screw, pressure in the elastic spacer is reduced, thus reducing friction between the ball nuts and the screw. When the screw is being fine positioned for precise operation, pressure in the elastic spacer is increased, thereby urging the ball nuts apart to eliminate play in the ball screw.
