Basics of Design: How to Specify Ball Splines

Sept. 27, 2023
Get the most out of your application by knowing how to choose the optimal ball spline.

Ball splines provide nearly frictionless linear motion on a single shaft while simultaneously transmitting torsional loads. Two components, a grooved, precision shaft and a special nut, combine to provide high load capabilities and anti-rotation torque transfer, working well in applications where high speed, vibration, and shock loading are required.

Download this Basics of Design article to learn how manipulating six factors can increase load capacity—so that you can get the most out of your application.
