A ball screw with sectional circulating assemblies comprises an inner circulating block and an outer circulating block. In assembly, the inner circulating block is initially placed between the screw shaft and the nut before the rolling balls and the screw shaft are positioned, thus preventing the rolling balls from dropping out and the interference with the threads of the screw shaft. After the rolling balls and the screw shaft are positioned, the outer circulating block is placed into the nut and engaged with the inner circulating block, and the outer circulating block is fixed to the nut. This method can maintain the tightness of the nut, thus preventing the leakage of noise.

A roller retainer mounted on a roller comprises a first guiding frame and a second guiding frame that are integrally connected with each other in a vertically staggered manner. The first guiding frame and the second guiding frame are located along the two diagonals of the roller respectively. The thickness of the first guiding frame and the second guiding frame is utilized to keep the space between the two non-loading surfaces of roller and a track. The roller retainer can further keep the space between each roller. Thereby, the roller retainer can prevent the rollers from contacting each other; the loading surfaces can still contact the track and the non-loading surfaces are prevented from colliding with and rubbing against the track, thus reducing the noise and ensuring the moving direction.

A ball screw unit with dust cleaning and ball deflecting element fixing mechanism includes an annular inlaid slot along the inner surface of a nut proper proximate to the outside of a ball deflecting element. A fixed dust scrape formed of a C shaped annular packing is installed in the annular inlaid slot. The C shaped annular packing is covered with a soft covering layer at its inner fringe and the outer fringe of the soft covering layer is just stuffed in the annular inlaid slot of the nut proper. Inner fringe of the soft covering layer is formed into a spiral scraper blade corresponding to the rolling spiral slot of the screw blot. The fixed dust scraper is tightly fixing the ball deflecting element to the nut proper by means of the resiliency of the soft covering layer to clean the dust along the rolling spiral slot with its spiral scraper blade thereby serving as a dust cleaner.
