High torques – LBS / LBF
THK LBS / LBF ball spline guides
- Excellent service
- Customer-specific assembly
- Stock management
- Delivery rate 99,5%
The spline guides from the LBS/LBF series by THK feature three longitudinal keys, spaced equidistantly (120°) around the circumference of the spline shaft. On both sides of the keys, a total of six rows of recirculating balls run through precisely ground grooves with a specialized R-groove profile.
The torque is evenly distributed around the shaft by three rows of balls in the load direction. As a result, the ball spline guides in both series can handle high torsional loads, as well as moment and radial loads.
The ball spline shafts are available in diameters ranging from 6 mm to 150 mm. The spline bushings are available in various types. The balls are retained within the spline bushing, preventing them from falling out and simplifying assembly and disassembly.
The execution High torques – LBS / LBF has the following advantages:
