Abstract : Inverted planetary roller screw (IPRS) is a kind of linear transmission mechanism which has advantages of high load carrying capability, long fatigue life, high transmission accuracy and low noise. Due to these advantages, it has wide application prospect in the fields of aerospace, weapon equipment, CNC machine tools and petrochemical industry. Up to the present, there is little research about this mechanism. Therefore, a model was derived to calculate load distribution, axial deformation and c
