A ball screw mechanism including a screw having a first axis and at least one screw groove extending along a first helical path about the first axis, and a nut having a first aperture receiving the screw. The nut also includes at least one nut groove extending along a second helical path about the first axis between first and second edges disposed on opposite sides of the screw. The at least one screw groove and the at least one nut groove are aligned and cooperate to form a helical passageway extending at least 180 degrees about the first axis between a first opening at the first edge and a second opening at the second edge. The ball screw mechanism also includes a plurality of balls moving, in part, along the helical passageway. The ball screw mechanism also includes an external ball nut return radially spaced from the screw extending at least partially around the nut between a first end communicating with the first opening and a second end communicating with the second opening to circulate the plurality of balls with respect to the helical passageway.

The ball screw mechanism of claim 1 wherein said first end opening is further defined as being formed as a channel that opens oblique to said first axis. 3. The ball screw mechanism of claim 2 wherein said external ball nut return defines a substantially planar return path along which said plurality of balls move between said first and second ends. 4. The ball screw mechanism of claim 3 wherein said second end opening is further defined as being formed as a channel that opens oblique to said first axis. 5. The ball screw mechanism of claim 1 wherein said external ball nut return includes a substantially v-shaped bottom portion with first and second surface portions disposed transverse to one another for guiding movement of said plurality of balls circulating between said first and second openings such that each of said plurality of balls is disposed in two-point contact with said external ball nut return during movement between said first and second ends. 6. The ball screw mechanism of claim 5 wherein said external ball nut return defines a substantially planar return path along which said plurality of balls move between said first and second ends and wherein said v-shaped bottom portion extends over a length of said return path. 7. The ball screw mechanism of claim 5 wherein at least one of said first and second surface portions is oblique with respect to said first axis in a plane defining said first end opening. 8. The ball screw mechanism of claim 1 wherein said external ball nut return further comprises: an outer surface facing radially outwardly with respect to said first axis and extending between said first and second ends along a first path; and an inner surface for guiding movement of said plurality of balls circulating between said first and second openings and facing radially inwardly with respect to said first axis and extending between said first and second ends along a return path, wherein said first path and said return path are transverse with respect to one another. 9. The ball screw mechanism of claim 8 wherein a wall thickness between said inner and outer surfaces of said external ball nut return varies between said first and second ends. 10.
