Dependence between the Favourable Initial (Residual) Stresses and Durability of the Ball Screws

Abstract:

This work is based on theoretical and experimental researches on increasing the carrying capacity and durability of the ball screws used on machine tools by creating favourable initial compression stresses (non-conventional treatment) in the surface layer of the elements into contact, so that these stresses keep their effectiveness during usage.
