Planet for a planetary rolling-contact screw

Abstract

A planet (11) for a planetary rolling contact gear, along whose planetary axis a middle section (12) having a larger diameter and, axially on both sides of the middle section (12), end sections (13) having a smaller diameter are formed, wherein a first engagement profile (14) is formed on the lateral surface of the planet (11) in the middle section (12) and a second engagement profile (15) is formed on the lateral surface of the planet (11) in the end sections (13), wherein the first engagement profile (14) has a plurality of first teeth (16) that are arranged in an annular manner around the planetary axis, wherein first grooves (17) arranged in an annular manner about the planet axis are formed between successive first teeth (16), wherein the two first edge teeth (23) located at the ends of the middle section (12) are formed within and at a distance from a tooth contour (18) of the first teeth (16) of the middle section (12).
