Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Disclosed is a ball screw module including a screw shaft, a nut member, a ball connector, and a circulating device mounted on the nut member. A helical rolling track is formed between the screw shaft and the nut member. The circulating device is in communication with the helical rolling track and has a circulating route. The circulating route includes an intermediate route, two connecting routes connecting the intermediate route, and two guiding sidewalls formed at sides of the circulating route. The guiding sidewalls guide the ball connector to twist in a clockwise direction while the ball connector entering and leaving the intermediate route and guide the ball connector to twist in a counterclockwise direction while the ball connector passing the intermediate route.
