Abstract:
1. A method for assembling a ball screw with sectional circulating assemblies comprising the following steps: inserting a screw shaft through an inserting hole of a nut or sleeving the nut onto the screw shaft, so as to form two assembling spaces between the nut and the screw shaft, and the two assembling spaces include a first assembling space and a second assembling space; inserting a nail portion of a first one of the circulating assemblies into a helical groove of the screw shaft, and keeping the concerned circulating assembly located at an outer peripheral surface of the screw shaft, then moving the nut in an axial direction until the first one of the circulating assemblies gets into the first assembling space; moving an inner circulating block a second one of the circulating assemblies along the axial direction into the second assembling space, at this moment, the nail portion of the inner circulating block of the second one of the circulating assemblies is located toward the outer peripheral surface of the screw shaft, then moving the inner circulating block of the second one of the circulating assemblies in a radial direction to make the nail portion insert into the helical groove of the screw shaft, and make a first half guideway of the nail portion has the one end connected to the circulating hole of the nut; feeding rolling balls into the circulating hole until a load path is full of the rolling balls; and moving an outer circulating block of the second one of the circulating assemblies in the axial direction until it inserts into the second assembling space, pushing a first fixing portion of the second one of the circulating assemblies in the axial direction until it inserts in a second fixing portion of the inner circulating block of the second one of the circulating assemblies, the another end of the first half guideway of the first one of the circulating assemblies is overlapped with the end of the second half guideway of the first one of the circulating assemblies, and the another end of the first half guideway of the second one of the circulating assemblies is overlapped with the end of the second half guideway of the second one of the circulating assemblies.
