A damping system for a linear actuator, and a linear actuator. The damping system has a first sub-assembly with a first axial stop surface and a second axial stop surface. A spring-elastic spring arrangement has an initial position at a predetermined pretensioning and is axially in contact with the first and second stop surface. A second sub-assembly is mounted axially displaceable relative to the first sub-assembly and is configured to lift the spring arrangement away from the first stop surface or from the second stop surface in the case of an axial movement relative to the first sub-assembly.

A linear motion system comprises a guiding member, a moving member, a plurality of rolling members and a preload adjusting module. The moving member is slidably disposed on the guiding member. The moving member and the guiding member together form a circulation path. When the guiding member moves with relative to the moving member, the moving member can generate a linear movement with relative to the guiding member. The rolling members are accommodated in the circulation path. The preload adjusting module is disposed on the moving member, and comprises a preload assembly and a preload regulator. The preload regulator applies a thrust to the preload assembly to adjust a preload value generated by the rolling members and applied to the moving member.

According to the embodiments, it is possible to mitigate noise by compensating for the clearance inside the bearing supporting the rotation of the ball nut and the clearance between the ball nut and the ball screw and prevent excessive friction between the ball nut and the ball screw and inside the bearing to thereby allow the driver a better steering feel.

A linear actuator comprising a housing with first and second ends, and defining a central cavity extending axially therethrough; a tube having first and second portions, the first portion arranged to slide within the central cavity of the housing, and the second portion extending outwardly from the second end of the housing; a first elongated rotatable screw positioned axially within the central cavity and coaxial with the rube; a first nut mounted about the first elongated rotatable screw and configured to move axially as the first elongated rotatable screw rotates; a second elongated rotatable screw positioned axially within the central cavity; a second nut mounted about the second elongated rotatable screw and configured to move axially within the central cavity as the second elongated rotatable screw rotates; and a spring positioned around the second elongated rotatable screw between the second nut and the second end of the housing.

Planetary roller screw having a threaded spindle, and having a nut element arranged on the threaded spindle, and having planets arranged distributed around the periphery of the threaded spindle, which mesh on one side with the threaded spindle and on the other side with the nut element, which is rotatably mounted in both axial directions in each case by means of a first bearing on a rotationally driven planet carrier which receives the planets and is rotatably mounted on a housing by means of a second bearing. The planet carrier has a sleeve encompassing the nut element, at the axial ends of which a flange respectively having a first bearing seat of the first bearing and a second bearing seat of the second bearing is arranged, the flanges being connected with play to one another by means of the sleeve in a rotationally fixed manner and axially with actuating play.

The present disclosure relates to a height adjustment device (1) comprising a height adjustment screw (3) having outer threads (5) and being oriented substantially vertically and arranged rotatably in relation to a chassis (7), and an adjustment nut (9) connected to a bracket (11) and comprising inner threads (13) for engagement with the threads (5) of the adjustment screw (3), such that a rotary movement of the height adjustment screw (3) results in a vertical linear movement of the bracket (11). The adjustment nut comprises a first part (15) and a second part (17) which together enclose the adjustment screw (3), wherein the first part (15) being adapted to be attached to the second part. The present disclosure also considers a robotic mower (101) comprising such a height adjustment device.

A preload detectable screw device is provided which can detect preload with accuracy and can reduce the influence of generated heat on the output of a sensor. A screw device (1) includes a screw shaft (2), a nut member (3), a plurality of rolling elements (7, 8), at least one axial strain sensor (24) (B, D) that is attached to a surface of the nut member (3) and detects strain in an axial direction on the nut member (3), and at least one circumferential strain sensor (24) (A, C) that is attached to the surface of the nut member (3) and detects strain in a circumferential direction on the nut member (3). Preload of the screw device (1) is detected on the basis of outputs of the axial strain sensor (24) (B, D) and the circumferential strain sensor (24) (A, C).

An actuator for rear-axle steering system of a motor vehicle comprises a threaded spindle (2) which is surrounded by planets (21), each provided with a corresponding profiling (8), wherein the planets (21) are guided in a driven cage (13) and, via further profiling (25), contact a nut (4) that surrounds areas of the planets (21) provided with said profiling (8) and is supported with respect to the cage (13) by rolling bearings (14), and wherein the cage (13) is mounted in a housing (20) by means of further rolling bearings (30, 31, 32, 33) and is non-rotatably connected to an output-side component (12, 34) of a further transmission (10, 11, 12).

The invention relates to a split-type nut assembly. The split-type nut assembly comprises a first nut and a second nut which are completely separated from each other. The first nut and the second nut have identical pitches and leads and are matched with each other or move relative to each other on a threaded shaft. Compared with the prior art, the split-type nut assembly has the advantages of being good in clearance elimination effect, long in service life, convenient to disassemble and the like.

A linear motion system includes a guiding member, a moving member, a plurality of rolling members, a controller, a preload sensing member and a preload adjusting module. The moving member is slidably disposed on the guiding member, and the moving member and the guiding member together form a circulation path. The rolling members are accommodated in the circulation path. The preload sensing member is disposed on the moving member. The preload sensing member detects a preload value generated by the rolling members and applied to the moving member, and outputs a detecting signal to the controller. The preload driver and adjusting assembly of the preload adjusting module are disposed on the moving member. The controller controls the preload driver to adjust the adjusting assembly according to the detecting signal to adjust the preload value to a preset value.
