Abstract:
There is provided a method for processing a raceway groove configured to circumferentially form a to-be-processed side raceway groove on a surface to be processed of a workpiece, the to-be-processed side raceway groove is configured to be brought into rolling contact with a rolling element, and the surface to be processed is a cylindrical circumferential surface. The method for processing a raceway groove includes: arranging a processing rolling element rotatably between the to-be-processed side raceway groove and a tool side circumferential surface which is opposed to the surface to be processed and which is a cylindrical circumferential surface of a machining tool; rotating the machining tool relatively with respect to the workpiece; and performing a burnishing process on the to-be-processed side raceway groove.

Claim (Index 5):
The method for processing a raceway groove according to  claim 2 ,\n wherein a groove bottom diameter of the tool side ball screw groove is gradually enlarged toward the rear in the direction of the relative displacement in the axial direction of the mandrel with respect to the ball nut during the burnishing process.
