16mm Diameter TBI Ball Spline SLT16 Linear Shaft High Performance
The TBI SLT16 16mm hollow ball spline shaft represents an optimal balance of compact design and high-performance motion control for space-conscious industrial applications. This precision-engineered component combines the advantages of a streamlined 16mm profile with the functional benefits of a hollow shaft architecture, offering a versatile solution for modern automation systems. The carefully proportioned diameter provides sufficient structural rigidity for typical loads while maintaining a slender form factor ideal for integration in equipment with spatial constraints. The hollow core design adds practical functionality, allowing for internal routing of cables, pneumatics, or cooling systems without compromising the shaft's motion characteristics. Precision-ground spline surfaces and optimized ball recirculation paths ensure smooth, accurate movement within the compact 16mm footprint, demonstrating TBI's ability to deliver full performance in a space-efficient package. Designed for robotics, precision instruments, and compact automation equipment, this 16mm shaft exemplifies thoughtful engineering that addresses both mechanical and spatial requirements. The SLT16 series offers system designers a balanced solution that combines the motion quality of larger ball spline systems with the installation flexibility of a medium-diameter component, making it particularly valuable for applications where every millimeter matters. This configuration showcases TBI's expertise in developing motion solutions that meet real-world design challenges without sacrificing performance, providing reliable linear guidance in a form factor optimized for modern industrial applications.
②Features of TBI Ball Splines
Spline Nut and the grooves on the Spline Shaft. With TBI MOTION's unique 40°angular contact design which enables the Ball spline delivers high sensitivity and extreme high load carrying capacity. The concept is optimal for the application involve with high speed, vibration, impacts of loading and precise positioning requirements. Also when the Ball spline is used to function as linear bushing, the Ball spline provides ten times loading capacity than the linear bush on the like model but with a compact profile. Namely, Durability and reliablility is the reason to choose TBI Ball spline in your application.
