In a long period of high-speed and heavy-load conditions, the planetary roller screw mechanisms accumulated much heat. Thus, the rise of internal temperature of the system, and thermal deformations led to the lubrication performance degeneration, even the failure of the mechanisms. According to the structural characteristics of the planetary roller screw mechanisms, the mechanism of its thermal characteristics was revealed. And, the progresses of thermal characteristics research were analyzed and summarized from the aspects of heat source, thermal characteristics analysis methods, temperature rise and thermo-mechanics coupling, thermal deformatios, thermal errors and the structural. Then, the research trends in thermal characteristics of the planetary roller screw mechanisms were discussed and predicted.
