Abstract
A lead screw nut support arrangement includes a wall having a width and a through hole that passes through the wall. A support bushing passes through the through hole in the axial direction, leaving an amount of play, and having a length greater than the thickness of the wall. The support bushing is supported in the through hole movably in the axial direction. A lead screw nut is also included whose end face adjoins a first end face of the support bushing on the inner side of the wall. The support arrangement also includes a mount that braces a second end face of the support bushing against the lead screw nut such that the lead screw nut is elastically loaded in the direction away from the wall.
Claims20
A lead screw nut support arrangement, comprising:
- a wall having a predetermined thickness and a through hole that passes through the wall;
- a support bushing disposed in the through hole in an axial direction, the support bushing having a length greater than the thickness of the wall such that an amount of play exists between the support bushing and the wall, where the support bushing is supported in the through hole movably in the axial direction;
- a lead screw nut having an end face that adjoins a first end face of the support bushing on the inner side of the wall;
- and
- a mount that braces a second end face of the support bushing against the lead screw nut such that the lead screw nut is elastically loaded in a direction away from the wall.
A lead screw nut support arrangement that interfaces with a wall having a through hole formed therein, the support arrangement comprising:
- a support bushing disposed in the through hole in an axial direction, the support bushing having a length larger than a thickness of the wall such that an amount of play exists between the support bushing and the wall, where the support bushing is supported in the through hole movably in the axial direction;
- a lead screw nut having an end face that adjoins a first end face of the support bushing on an inner side of the wall;
- and
- a mount that braces a second end face of the support bushing against the lead screw nut such that the lead screw nut is elastically loaded in a direction away from the wall.
A lead screw nut support arrangement that interfaces with a wall having a through hole formed therein, the support arrangement comprising:
- a support bushing disposed in the through hole in an axial direction, the support bushing having a length larger than a thickness of the wall such that an amount of play exists between the support bushing and the wall, where the support bushing is supported in the through hole movably in the axial direction;
- a lead screw nut having an end face that adjoins a first end face of the support bushing on an inner side of the wall;
- a mount that braces a second end face of the support bushing against the lead screw nut such that the lead screw nut is elastically loaded in a direction away from the wall;
- and
- an elastic element disposed between the mount and the second end face of the support bushing, where the elastic element stresses the support bushing against the lead screw nut.
