Analytical and Experimental Identification of Nonlinearities in a Single-Nut, Preloaded Ball Screw

Abstract: The nonlinear performance of a single-nut, preloaded ball screw actuator is analyzed in this paper. The study identifies the source of nonlinear torque in the ball screw and subsequently maps that torque into the nonlinear displacement response due to windup in the shaft. The study is complemented with an experimental verification using a small angle rotation fixture (ARC) to input very small amplitude angular displacements to the screw while measuring induced torque and displacements. The experimental results… Show more

“…This relationship is derived using a large number of finite element simulations based on the elastic contact theory of Mindlin. This theory is experimentally verified by Cuttino [15] for a single-nut, preloaded, precision ball screw. The motion of the balls in the set-up consists of a rolling and spinning part, and the spinning part is (simplistically) assumed to be responsible for the hysteretic behavior.…”

“…More general applications of finite element analyses and applications are given by Cook et al [9,10]. The use of finite element models to develop empirical relationships for design has been shown by Cuttino and Dow [11] and Cuttino et al [12].…”

“…The Hilbert–Huang transform has also been applied to processing and research on ball screw failure and mechanical signals. 2,3 The pretension of the ball screw in a feed drive system improves its mechanical strength and maintains a minimum rigidity. However, the continual movement of the ball screw subjects it to thermal deformation, which results in positioning errors in the feed system and reduces the overall positioning accuracy.…”
