Ball Screws and Ball Spines

The ball screws and ball splines are precision components designed to convert rotary motion into linear motion with high efficiency. These products are ideal for applications that require smooth, precise, and reliable motion control, such as in automation, robotics, and CNC machinery. The ball screws offer excellent load capacity and durability, while the ball splines allow for linear movement along a shaft with minimal friction, ensuring long-lasting and efficient performance. These components are available in various sizes and configurations to suit specific design requirements.

Ball splines

A Ball Spline is a rolling guide bearing that uses a ball rolling on a groove connected to the shaft. This allows higher allowable loads greater than with linear bushing and enables torque transmission while making linear movements.

Ball screws

A Ball Screw is a high-efficiency feed screw with balls making a rolling motion between the screw axis and the nut. Compared to a conventional sliding screw, a ball screw requires drive torque of one-third or less, making it most suitable for saving drive motor power.

Linear bushes

A Linear Bush is a linear guide to be used in combination with a LM cylindrical shaft. It allows makes linear movements with a minimum of frictional resistance to provide highly accurate and precise movement.
