Linear Motion
Splined shaft and outer cylinder assemblies that carry torque while allowing free axial travel.
Linear Ball Splines pair a splined round shaft with a ball-retained outer cylinder. Recirculating balls run in precision-ground raceway grooves, so the assembly transmits torque between shaft and cylinder while the cylinder rolls along the shaft with low friction. That makes the family a fit for transfer arms, pick-and-place axes, telescoping spindles, and any drive that needs combined rotation and stroke.
