NB Ball Splines

Ball Splines Eliminate Backlash

NB Ball Splines have recirculating steel balls on the side of the outer race that are designed for high-speed rotation and to eliminate backlash. They are for applications that may require both linear motion and superior torque transmission, from robotics to transport equipment.  Available in 16 standard and customizable shaft sizes with diameters from 4mm to 100mm, there are seven different nut (the outer cylinder that retains the ball elements) styles. The large surface area of ball contact with grooved shaft results in high load capacity. Various material options include Martensite stainless. 3-D CAD now is also available.
