Medium Torque Type Ball Spline Compact Model LT-X
The nut is more compact than that of the current Model LT thanks to the new circulating pathways.
The outer diameter of the nut is the same as that of the linear bushing.
The Model LT-XL is suitable for moment loads, torque, and overhung loads thathttps://www.thk.com/jp/assets/images/products/medium_torque_type_lt-x.png exceed those tolerated by the Model LT-X.
Models LT4X to 6X are made of stainless steel, which has high corrosion resistance.
* LT3X, LT3XD, and LT4X are countersunk.
Spline shaft diameter (mm) : 3,4,5,6,8,10,13,16,20,25,30

Features
Compact Nut Design
The nut is more compact than the previous Model LT/LF thanks to the new circulation structure.

The outer diameter is up to 20% more compact than previous THK products.
This makes it possible to design a more compact machine core.

Option: QZ Lubricator
The QZ Lubricator is a lubricator attached to both ends of the spline nut. The QZ Lubricator feeds the right amount of lubricant to the raceway on the spline shaft. This allows an oil film to be continuously formed between the rolling element and the raceway, and it drastically extends the lubrication maintenance interval.
