Ball Spline Nut And Ball Spline Shaft

Ball spline is a precision mechanical component that transmits power through the cyclic rolling of balls in the spline groove. It consists of a spline shaft, spline sleeve, balls, and sealing structure. Its core features include efficient transmission, multi-directional load-bearing, and high-precision positioning. Applications include Z-axis drive for automation equipment, automotive steering systems, and positioning mechanisms for high-speed printing machines.

  • Performance Advantages

    1、High precision and stability

    High repeat positioning accuracy, fully enclosed sealed structure reduces the impact of dust intrusion on accuracy;

    Special contact angles,enhance torsional rigidity and reduce high-speed motion vibration.

    2、Low friction and efficient transmission

    The rolling friction coefficient is only 1/50-1/30 of that of sliding splines, with a transmission efficiency of over 95% and excellent temperature rise control;

    Optimize the lubrication oil system, directly lubricate the ball return area, and extend the maintenance cycle.

    3、Multi directional load capacity

    It can simultaneously withstand radial force (cantilever load), axial thrust, and torque, with a maximum radial load of several tons;

    Pre pressure adjustable design enhances impact resistance.

    4、High speed adaptability

    Supports rotation speed>3000rpm and linear speed ≥ 5m/s, meeting the requirements of laser cutting machines and high-speed sorting equipment;

    The low inertia characteristic shortens the start stop response time and has better acceleration performance than traditional sliding mechanisms.
