Optimal for a mechanism that performs linear motion while transmitting torque.
The ball spline is a revolutionary linear motion system that allows torque transmission while a ball, incorporated into the spline nut, moves smoothly in a straight line along the rolling surface of a precisely ground spline shaft. Moreover, unlike conventional structures, it provides preload with a single spline nut, enabling high performance in harsh applications where vibration and impact loads occur, in areas requiring high precision positioning, and in situations demanding high-speed motion performance. Additionally, when used as a substitute for linear bushes, it has a rated load that is several times greater than that of the same shaft diameter, allowing for a compact design. This makes it usable even in cases where overhang loads and moments are applied, resulting in high safety and long lifespan.
