<Test method>
[Evaluation of torque at various speeds]
10 g of test grease was applied to the thread groove portion of the steel ball screw, and the mixture was placed in a constant temperature bath in which the ambient temperature was set to 25 ° C. The screw shaft was reciprocated 10 times at a speed of 10 mm / s within a stroke of 50 mm. After that, three reciprocations were made in order from low speed at each speed of 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20 mm / s. This was set as one cycle, and a total of five cycles were performed. By sampling the force (“operating load”) generated when the screw shaft of the ball screw is reciprocated at a predetermined speed at predetermined intervals and dividing the total operating load per cycle by the number of data samples, The average value of the operating load per cycle was calculated. The average value when the fifth cycle was reciprocated three times at 1 mm / s and 20 mm / s was evaluated according to the following criteria.

〔トルク変動の評価〕
上記のトルクの評価において、5サイクル目に1mm/sで3往復したときの、操作荷重の平均値、操作荷重データのサンプリング数、及びi回目の操作荷重データから下記式により尖度を算出し、平均値を求めた。設定した速度のうちで最低速度での尖度を求めたのは、トルク変動に影響するハンドルの引っ掛かりの影響が、高速よりも低速の方が出やすいからである。
なお、「尖度」は統計学的に公知の用語であり、分布の尖り度合いを示し、以下の数式で定義される。尖度が小さいほど、尖りが丸く、緩やかな山の形をした分布を示すことから、尖度が小さいほどトルク変動が小さいと評価できる。
[Evaluation of torque fluctuation]
In the above torque evaluation, the kurtosis was calculated by the following formula from the average value of the operating load, the number of samples of the operating load data, and the i-th operating load data when three reciprocations were made at 1 mm / s in the fifth cycle. , The average value was calculated. The kurtosis at the lowest speed among the set speeds was obtained because the influence of the steering wheel catching, which affects the torque fluctuation, is more likely to occur at low speeds than at high speeds.
In addition, "kurtosis" is a statistically known term, which indicates the degree of kurtosis of a distribution, and is defined by the following mathematical formula. The smaller the kurtosis, the rounder the point and the gentler mountain-shaped distribution. Therefore, it can be evaluated that the smaller the kurtosis, the smaller the torque fluctuation.
