The NB ROTARY BALL SPLINE can be used for both rotational motion and linear motion. The applications include SCARA robots, the vertical shaft of assembly equipment, tool changers, and loaders, etc.
The NB ROTARY BALL SPLINE SPB type combines a spline nut and a set of angular contact bearings in a compact, high accurate, and high-speed rotation-capable assembly, providing both linear and rotational motion at the same time.
Preload and Clearance
The amount of clearance and preload for the spline nut is expressed in terms of the clearance in the rotational direction. Three levels of preload are available: standard, light( T1), and medium( T2).
The preload is properly adjusted by the spacer for the angular contact bearings.
