Abstract
A planetary roller screw drive for an actuator of a rear-axle steering system of a motor vehicle, including a planetary roller support which accommodates the planetary rollers and is connected to a drive sleeve for rotation therewith, which drive sleeve is driven rotatably about the screw spindle and is mounted rotatably on a machine part by an axial angular contact roller bearing which is arranged coaxially with respect to the drive sleeve and of which the rollers are in rolling contact with angled-bearing raceways which are inclined with respect to a plane arranged transversely with respect to the axis of rotation of the drive sleeve.
Claims17
A planetary roller screw drive, comprising:
- a nut arranged on a screw spindle;
- planetary rollers having a planetary groove profile arranged between the screw spindle and the nut and which mesh via the planetary groove profile with a nut-side groove profile and, with a thread profile of the screw spindle;
- a planetary roller support having pockets, which are arranged distributed over a circumference thereof and in which the planetary rollers are rotatably mounted about respective planetary roller axes thereof;
- and
- a drive sleeve that is rotatably driven about a spindle axis of the screw spindle and which is connected for conjoint rotation with the planetary roller support and is rotatably mounted on a machine part by a bearing;
- wherein the bearing comprises an axial angular contact roller bearing arranged coaxially with the drive sleeve and having rollers in rolling contact with angled-bearing raceways that are arranged inclined with respect to a plane arranged transverse to the spindle axis which coincides with a rotation axis of the drive sleeve, and wherein the drive sleeve includes a sleeve and an angled-bearing disc which is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner in the sleeve and which has the inclined angled-bearing raceway.
