ROTARY BALL SPLINE TECHNOLOGIES AND THE EFFECTIVE DIFFERENCES OF TWO ROTATIONAL
NUT TECHNOLOGIES

Before you specify a rotary ball spline, ask the question, “Should the rotary
spline nut be riding on angular contact ball bearings or crossed roller
bearings?” After ascertaining your application’s requirements – stroke length;
velocity; applied load; mounting space; duty cycle; required life; dimensions;
installation direction; environment and accuracy – you’re ready to factor in…
