How to take good care of ball spline
Some people say that they always don't know the reason for the damage to the ball spline shaft, as if it has been worn out unconsciously, even though it hasn't been used for long. Is it because the quality of the purchased ball spline is poor? Don't worry, Han Yi will answer for you.
In fact, generally speaking, it is not a quality issue with the spline itself, but rather the inability to solve the key and use it, so it is unclear where the problem lies. Ball spline is a highly personalized precision component, and it is necessary to study the relevant usage methods and basic knowledge in order to better grasp it.
There are roughly three reasons for the damage we have summarized: equipment damage caused by damage to the ball spline shaft, poor smoothness of the ball spline, and contamination entering the ball spline shaft or improper handling.
Having figured out the reason, is it much easier to understand? According to these three directions of inspection, most of the reasons for inexplicable damage to ball splines can be easily solved. After understanding the reasons clearly, we can prescribe the right medicine to deal with it.
So, in daily use, what should we pay attention to to to ensure the normal operation of ball splines? Let's continue to learn about Han Yi together.
Firstly, as a precision component, ball splines are highly susceptible to dust. Many tiny dust particles that are not visible to the naked eye can also cause wear on the spline shaft, leading to instability and noise. So we need to pay special attention to the cleaning of the splines and their surrounding environment. At the same time, do not disassemble the various parts of the ball spline at will to prevent foreign objects from entering or damaging the spline.
Secondly, when installing the ball spline shaft, extra care should be taken to avoid using excessive force to punch and strike. The spline outer cylinder and spline shaft may fall off due to their own weight after tilting, and dropping or knocking may also cause scratches and damage. When subjected to an impact, even if there is no visible damage on the appearance, it may still result in functional loss, which requires attention.
Finally, the use of lubricants for splines is crucial. In order to prevent rusting of the ball spline shaft, it is not allowed to use hands directly during the handling process. Both hands should be thoroughly washed of sweat and coated with high-quality mineral oil before operation. In places that often require vibration, such as vacuum, low or high temperature environments, specific lubricants need to be used to ensure the normal use of ball splines.
The ball spline produced by KTO Hanyi has a dedicated oil injection channel, which is convenient and practical. The high-precision production and processing technology not only gives Hanyi splines the advantage of being customizable according to demand, but also enables them to work normally in special environments such as low temperatures, leading other products in the industry.
