ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a ball screw apparatus which suppresses abrasion and damage by competition of balls, controls spaces between retaining pieces and balls, and prevents retaining pieces from falling, thereby enabling to more improve operating ability. The retaining pieces are positioned between the balls running in a ball rolling path, such that a sum total of the spaces between the retaining pieces and the balls is 50% or less of an outer diameter size of the retaining piece, and at the same time a contact angle between the retaining piece and the ball is 25° or above to 40° or below.
