- What are the guidelines for selecting the rotational clearance of a ball spline?
- There are three types of rotational clearance.
CM clearance:
- For applications requiring high rigidity and resistance to vibrations and impacts
- For applications where a single nut supports a moment load
CL clearance:
- For applications with overhanging loads or moment loads
- For applications requiring high repeatability
- For applications with alternating loads
Normal clearance
- For applications that operate smoothly with minimal force
- For applications where torque is consistently applied in one direction
