Ball Splines enable smooth motion in vertical applications.

With balls embedded in external nut for conveying torque while making smooth linear motion in spline shaft groove, Types SLS/SLF systems incorporate Caged Technology, which employs synthetic resin cage with curvature cradling each ball and separating it from next. Spaces between rolling elements retain grease, acting as lubrication system for long-term, maintenance-free operation. Devices feature...
