About Linear Bearings

Linear Bearings for Ball Splines
Combine these bearings with a ball spline to create a compact linear and rotary motion system for applications with fast, complex movements, such as robotics. These bearings move smoothly and precisely even at high speeds along ball splines while grooves on the ball spline transmit rotary power. Clip a retaining ring into the groove on these bearings to position them in your system. Use the keyway and included machine key for attaching your load.
Stainless steel bearings are more corrosion resistant than steel bearings.
Splines are alloy steel for high strength and wear resistance. They're hardened only on the outside, so they stand up to repeated motion while keeping their center soft enough to absorb stress from shifting loads. Those with a step-down end have a shoulder near the end to stop gears, sprockets, and bearings.

Ball Screw/Splines and Bearings
From one compact system, transmit linear or rotary motion or both at once (sometimes called spiral motion). Because of these different motions, these ball screw/splines and bearings create efficient, fluid movements in complex automated applications, such as pick-and-place robots.
The ball bearings move smoothly and precisely, even at high speeds. They're powered independently, so you can drive one bearing at a time or both together to coordinate movements.
The ball screw/splines are hardened on the surface, so they stand up to repeated motion. They’re also hollow, so you can run electrical wiring, compressed air tubing, coolants, or lubricant through their center.
