LINEAR SPLINES
Linear Spline
The Ball Spline is a rolling guide spline bearing. This is an innovative product with a ball rolling on a groove connected to the shaft, realizing allowable loads greater than with linear bushing and enabling torque transmission while making linear movements.

Caged Ball Spline SLS/SLF
​
The Ball Spline is a rolling guide spline bearing. This is an innovative product with a ball rolling on a groove connected to the shaft, realizing allowable loads greater than with linear bushing and enabling torque transmission while making linear movements.
High Torque Model LBS
​
This Ball Spline has no angular backlash to increase the rigidity by providing a preload with one spline nut since the spline shaft has 3 crests equidistantly arranged at 120 degrees on the circumference, each held by 2 rows (6 rows in total) of balls under a load
Medium Torque Model LT
​
This Ball Spline has a large load capacity in the radial and torque directions since the spline shaft has 2 to 3 crests on the circumference, each held by 2 rows (4 or 6 rows in total) of balls under a load in order to reasonably provide a preload.
Rotary With Gears Model LBG
​
This model is a unit type that has gear teeth on the flange circumference, and radial and thrust needle bearings compactly integrated on the spline nut. This Ball Spline is optimal for a torque transmission mechanism with spline nut drive.
Rotary Model LTR
​
This model is a compact unit type of Ball Spline whose support bearings are directly integrated with the outer surface of the spline nut.
