The contact position of the roller 7 with the retainer 8 varies between the first inclined surface 34 and the second inclined surface 35 across the ridge line 36. Recessed portions 38 and 39 are formed in the retainer 8 so that the roller 7 can easily change the contact position.

- corner 7a of roller 7 is loaded roller rolling path 9
- the corner 7b of the roller 7 is on the inner peripheral side of the direction change path 16 while moving along the direction change path 16.
- the roller 7 contacts the first inclined surface 34 of the retainer 8 while the roller 7 moves on the loaded roller rolling path 9, and the roller 7 moves while the roller 7 moves on the direction changing path 16.
- 7 contacts the second inclined surface 35 of the retainer 8.
- FIG. 22 is a perspective view of the load roller rolling path 9 and the direction changing path 16. While the roller 7 moves along the load port-roller rolling path 9, the corner 9a of the loaded roller rolling path 9 is on the inner peripheral side, and while moving along the direction changing path 16, the corner 16a of the direction changing path 16 is reached. It turns out that becomes the inner circumference side.
- FIG. 23 shows the roller 7 and the retainer 8 moving on the load roller rolling path 9. Since the rollers 7 on both sides of the retainer 8 are arranged in a cross arrangement, the posture of the rollers 7 on both sides of the retainer is different in FIG. 23 (A) and FIG. 23 (B).
- the first inclined surface 34 of the retainer 8 and the roller 7 are in contact with each other and are arranged on both sides of the retainer 8 when viewed from the axial direction of the screw shaft 5 (as shown in FIG. 23).
- the angle between the axes of the pair of rollers 7 is kept at a predetermined angle ⁇ .
- the axes of the plurality of rollers 7 are directed toward the center ⁇ (axis of the screw shaft) of the circular load roller rolling path 9. More specifically, it intersects slightly before center A, and at center A, it shifts by a slight dimension S1.
- FIG. 24 is a cross-sectional view of the retainer 8 in the load roller rolling path 9 (a cross-sectional view taken along the first inclined surface 34 in the vicinity of the diagonal line of the retainer 8).
- the retainer 8 has a thin inner peripheral side and a thick outer peripheral side.
- the lateral width W1 on the inner peripheral side of the retainer 8 is smaller than the lateral width W2 on the outer peripheral side.
- FIG. 25 shows the roller 7 and the retainer 8 that move along the direction change path 16. Since the rollers 7 on both sides of the retainer 8 are arranged in a cross arrangement, the postures of the rollers 7 on both sides of the retainer are different in FIGS. 25 (A) and 25 (B).
- the second inclined surface 35 of the retainer 8 and the roller 7 are in contact with each other, and the plane force including the direction change path 16 is also viewed from the orthogonal direction (the state shown in FIG. 25). Is maintained at a predetermined angle of
- the axes of the plurality of rollers 7 are directed toward the center B of the arc-shaped direction change path 16. More specifically, it intersects slightly before Center B, and center B is displaced by a small dimension S2.
- the radius of curvature R of the direction change path 16 is smaller than the radius of curvature RCD / 2 of the load roller rolling path 9. Because
- 8 is set larger than the angle ⁇ so that the axis of the roller 7 is directed to the center.
- FIG. 26 shows a cross-sectional view of the retainer 8 on the direction change path (a cross-sectional view taken near the diagonal of the retainer and on the second inclined surface 35).
- the retainer 8 has a thin inner peripheral side and a thick outer peripheral side.
- the lateral width W3 on the inner peripheral side of the retainer 8 is smaller than the lateral width W4 on the outer peripheral side.
- the retainer 8 moves the roller in a state where the axis of the roller 7 is viewed from the axial direction of the screw shaft 5 toward the center of the circular path of the loaded roller rolling path 9. Then, the roller 7 smoothly moves along the loaded roller rolling path 9 without causing a skew in which the roller 7 tilts to a predetermined axial force.
- the direction change path 16 (curved portion of the no-load roller return path 10)
- the circular path of the direction change path 16 Since the roller 7 is moved in a state of being directed toward the center of the roller, the roller 7 smoothly moves along the arc-shaped direction change path 16 that does not cause a skew.
- the retainer 8 may contact the wall surface of the load roller roll path 9 and the direction change path 16 .
- the retainer 8 since the retainer 8 is provided with the first inclined surface 34 and the second inclined surface 35 corresponding to the load roller rolling path 9 and the direction changing path 16, the load roller rolling path 9 and the direction are provided. It is possible to prevent the retainer 8 from coming into contact with the wall of the passage in both of the conversion paths 16.
- the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be embodied in other embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.
- various types of circulation members such as a return pipe method can be used without being limited to the end cap type circulation member as in this embodiment.
- cylindrical rollers having substantially the same diameter and length are used, and the cross-sectional shape of the no-load roller return passage is formed in a square shape.
- other cylindrical rollers having different diameters and lengths are also used.
