Method for producing a threaded nut of a rolling-element screw drive

A method for producing at least one hole of a threaded nut of a rolling-element screw drive via fluid-jet cutting, the method comprising:

• inserting a protective lining into the threaded nut, a circumference of a lateral surface of the protective lining having at least one lining hole, each one of the at least one lining hole aligned with a corresponding one of an intended hole position of the at least one hole of the threaded nut,
• directing a cutting jet of a fluid-jet cutting tool radially from outside of the threaded nut onto a lateral surface of the threaded nut at one of the intended hole positions,
• penetrating both:
• i) a wall of the threaded nut, so as to form one of the at least one hole, and ii) one of the at least one lining hole of the protective lining, via the cutting jet, and
• after the one of the at least one hole has been formed in the threaded nut via the cutting jet, separating the protective lining and the threaded nut.

A method for producing at least one hole of a threaded nut of a rolling-element screw drive via fluid-jet cutting, the method comprising:

• inserting a protective sleeve into the threaded nut, the protective sleeve having at least one lining hole.
• directing a cutting jet of a fluid-jet cutting tool radially from outside of the threaded nut at a position on a lateral surface of the threaded nut, the position on the lateral surface corresponding to a position of one of the at least one lining hole,
• penetrating both:
• i) a wall of the threaded nut, so as to form one of the at least one hole, and ii) one of the at least one lining hole of the protective sleeve, via the cutting jet, and
• after the one of the at least one hole has been formed in the threaded nut via the cutting jet, removing the protective sleeve from the threaded nut.
