3 Rotary Ball Splines
Nippon Bearing

The NB Rotary Ball Spline can be used for both rotational motion and linear motion, and has a nut that rolls on the ball spline shaft — providing sub-millimeter accuracy every time.

Splines feature arch-shaped grooves on both 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.

Popular applications include 

  • SCARA robots
  • Vertical shaft of assembly equipment
  • Automatic tool changers
  • Loaders
