NB Rotary Ball Spline

The can be used for rotational motion and linear motion. Popular applications include SCARA robots, the vertical shaft of assembly equipment, automatic tool changers, and loaders, etc. NB's rotary ball spline has a nut that rolls on the ball spline shaft, providing the linear and rotary motion and sub-millimeter accuracy. Splines feature arch-shaped grooves on the shaft and inner portion of the cylinder. These grooves approximate the diameter of the ball bearings, allowing them to carry a high load in a linear motion. A ball spline...
