“…where k x,x , k y,y are the radial stiffness; k z,z is the axial stiffness; k ux,ux k uy,uy k uz,uz is the angular stiffness; k x,z k x,ux k x,uz k x,uy k z,ux k z,uz k ux,uz are the cross-coupling terms of axial and radial displacements. In this paper, the matrix K SN of equation (2.17) is simplified to make it easier to couple the stiffness matrix of the screw-nut interface unit with the overall stiffness matrix of the high-speed ball screw in the form of ignoring the angular displacement z in the axial direction of the high-speed ball screw, thus obtaining an 5*5 screw-nut interface unit stiffness matrix K SN , see equation (6). Since the cross-coupling term in the screw-nut interface unit stiffness matrix K SN has taken into account the effect of the deformation of the ball screw, when the center of gravity of the screw nut is at any unit position of the effective stroke of the ball screw, then the Timoshenko beam unit stiffness matrix at any unit position is considered to be the screwnut interface unit stiffness matrix K SN .…”
