Abstract
Provided is a screw device capable of reducing noise generated therefrom.The screw device has a screw shaft 5 having a rolling-element rolling groove 5a spirally formed on an outer peripheral surface of the screw shaft; a nut 6 having a loaded rolling-element rolling groove 6a spirally formed on an inner peripheral surface of the nut and facing the rolling-element rolling groove 5a of the screw shaft 5 and a rolling-element return path connecting an end of the loaded rolling-element rolling groove 6a with an other end thereof; and a plurality of rolling elements 7 arranged in a rolling-element circulation path. A low-noise plate 12 is mounted on a flange 9 provided at an axial end of the nut 6 so that the low-noise plate 12 covers at least a part of an end surface of the flange 9.
