18.2 mm ID Bearings | McMaster-Carr

Combine these bearings with a ball spline to create a compact linear and rotary motion system for applications with fast, complex movements, such as robotics. These bearings move smoothly and precisely even at high speeds along ball splines while grooves on the ball spline transmit rotary power. Clip a retaining ring into the groove on these bearings to position them in your system. Use the keyway and included machine key for attaching your load.

Splines are alloy steel for high strength and wear resistance. They're hardened only on the outside, so they stand up to repeated motion while keeping their center soft enough to absorb stress from shifting loads. Those with a step-down end have a shoulder near the end to stop gears, sprockets, and bearings.

Mounted Linear Bearings for Ball Splines

A flange with mounting holes makes it easy to attach a load to these bearings. Create a compact linear and rotary motion system for robots and other applications requiring complex, fast movements, by combining them with ball splines. These bearings move smoothly and precisely even at high speeds along ball splines while grooves on the ball spline transmit rotary power. Clip a retaining ring (not included) into the groove on these bearings to position them in your system.
