- What are the guidelines for selecting the rotational clearance of a ball spline?
- CM clearance
-High rigidity is required. Vibration and impact are severe.
-The moment load must be borne by a single spline nut.
CL clearance
-Overhung loads and moments are applied.
-Highly repeatability is required.
-Alternating loads are applied.
Normal clearance
-Smooth movement should be achieved with only a small amount of force.
-Torque is continually applied in a given direction.
