ABSTRACT:
A ball spline bearing provided with a driving unit wherein for a number of balls, endless circulation passages including track grooves in sets of two are formed in an external cylinder member, in which there is removably inserted a spline shaft having L-type notched grooves to form protrusions extending in the axial direction; on the both sides of the protrusion are formed track grooves respectively in opposition to the track grooves in the external cylinder member; each section remaining after the notched grooves and the protrusions have been removed from the spline-shaft circumference has a long enough circumferential length to form comparatively large rack teeth to bear a large load.
By providing a pinion to engage with the rack, an accurate positioning in the rectilinear direction can be attained based on the engagement, further a small type of driving unit may be adopted to the bearing, to the reduction of manufacturing cost of the bearing.
