Tech Tips: How Ball Spline Coatings Enhance Performance and Extend Life
To further optimize performance and extend the lifespan of precision ball splines in various environments, three different coating options are available. Learn the benefits each coating provides in this video.
Thomson precision ball splines simplify XYZ movement into linear and rotary motion, thereby reducing the number of parts and complexity required for picking up an item and placing it in another location. Fewer components and simpler designs result in lower costs, higher efficiencies, less maintenance and quicker lead times.
Robotics
Faster movement and accurate positioning result in significant reductions in production time, which is critical for mass machining environments. Thomson precision ball splines simplify these systems by providing both linear and rotary motion on one shaft. Their robust capacity supplies a reliable option for tool holding in robotic applications such as CNC machining.
Rotating Drum for Paper Mill
The high load capacity of Thomson precision ball splines provides the required rigidity when they are challenged by heavy objects. In addition, the nut design helps lock the rotational movement when the application is at rest.
Machine Automation
The accuracy of Thomson precision ball splines makes them ideal for many machine automation applications. For example, on a honing machine, precision is critical in maintaining a steady combination of rotary and linear motion.
