Zusammenfassung: | Ball screw rotary actuator with independent ball paths. In one embodiment, a ball screw rotary actuator includes an outer cylinder including a fluid port, a piston configured to translate within the outer cylinder due to fluid pressure, helical grooves disposed between the outer cylinder and the piston, and outer ball bearings configured to travel in the helical grooves to rotate the piston within the outer cylinder as the piston translates. The ball screw rotary actuator also includes an inner shaft situated radially inward of the piston, straight grooves disposed between the piston and the inner shaft, and inner ball bearings configured to travel in the straight grooves, and to rotate the inner shaft as the piston rotates. |
