In this part, the results of the studies on the moment due to the statical friction of a ball screw under heavy load by the double nut procedure are reported and the followings are included.
1) The relation between the moment due to the statical friction of a ball screw and the load acting upon it is expressed by a linear equation.
2) The statical friction of the ball screw is mainly composed of sliding friction.
3) The efficiency of the ball screw is over 95 %, and sometimes reaches to 99%.
4) The coefficient of the statical friction lubricated with motor oil is about 0.003.
5) The greater the curvature of the screw surface profile at the contact point of the lace-way and the ball, the better for the frictional character of the ball screw.
6) To use motor oil is most suitable for the diminishing of the moment due to the statical friction of the ball screw under light load range, and grease is most suitable under heavy load range.
7) A slight decrease of the radius or the number of balls inserted between the laceways influences little to the moment due to the statical friction.
8) A slight difference in the accuracy of the lace-way gives little influence to the moment due to the statical friction lubricated with grease.
