Top Tips: Ball Screw Splines Deliver Compact, Precision, High-Speed Motion

Ball screw splines combine a driven-nut-type ball-screw assembly with a rotary ball spline. Both components are attached to a grooved shaft to provide linear, rotary, or spiral motion. Their product consistency has led to widespread acceptance by the robotics industry, where they are common in pick-and-place or assembly operations requiring high speed and high accuracy.
