SOLUTION: The dust preventing device for the ball screw is mounted on the end face of the nut, and is composed of an absorbing body, the oil scraper, and a scavenger in this order. The absorbing body is made of a material for absorbing and retaining liquid. The oil scraper comes into contact with the surface of the screw at an oil scavenging portion. The scavenger has scavenging teeth portions formed thereon for engaging with the surface of the screw.
