The ball screw preloaded for high nigidity and accuracy increases frictional resistance, therefore, its temperature and positioning error rise. In this paper, 2 diamensional temperature distributions of a ball screw with preload are analyzed according to the rotational speeds and stop times by a finite element method. The theremal behaviors of a ball screw are measured to examine the analyzed datum. The examined results show that the trends of temperature rising and axial distributions in steady state are nearly extimate but the temperature low. The differences of temperature ate seems to be caused by not exact heat transfer coefficients. More than an hour is consumed for calculation by FEM. So the modified lumped method for the real-time estimation of the thermal distribution is proposed. The estimated temperature of a ball serw by the modified lumped method is more exactly estimated than by FEM, nd that method takes less than several millisec. Moreover it can be used to estimate heat transfer coefficients.
