A ball screw drive with a spindle nut (1) arranged on a screw spindle (2) and a continuous ball channel (7) formed by the screw spindle (2) and the spindle nut (1), in which channel balls arranged along a continuous ball track (8) circulate continuously, wherein the continuous ball channel (7) includes a load channel (9) wound in a spiral shape, with more than one winding, about a spindle axis (S) and a deflecting channel (10) which continuously connects the two ends of the load channel (9) to one another, wherein the spindle nut (1) has a nut part (4), on the inner circumference of which a ball groove (6) is formed being wound in a spiral shape about the spindle axis S, which ball groove, together with a ball groove (3) of the screw spindle (2) being wound in a spiral shape about the spindle axis S, forms the load channel (9), and wherein a deflecting element (5) including the deflecting channel (10) is arranged on the outer periphery of the nut part (4), and the deflecting ends (12) of the deflecting element (5) axially spaced apart from one another each penetrate a recess (11) through the thickness of the wall of the nut part (4), in order to deflect balls from the load channel (9) into the deflecting channel (10), and wherein the recess (11) has an unloading bore (15) connecting to the ball groove (6) of the nut part (4) and to the deflecting end (12) of the deflecting element (5) for unloading the balls, the axis of which unloading hole is arranged at a parallel distance to a plane (E1) containing the spindle axis (S).

A screw nut on which a pulley is mounted is capable of promoting reductions in the size and weight thereof. The screw nut includes: an outer ring; and a nut rotatably assembled to the outer ring via a first rolling element. The nut includes: a nut body having a screw groove in an inner surface thereof; and a recirculation component provided at an end portion of the nut body in an axial direction, the recirculation component having a turn-around path for recirculating a second rolling element rolling along a screw groove. A pulley to be mounted on the nut is fitted on an outer surface of the nut body, and is brought into contact with an end surface of the nut in the axial direction. The pulley is mounted on the end surface of the nut with a fastening member.
