The global ball spline market size has reached USD 1.48 billion in 2022, with a year-on-year growth of 7.6%. Asia-Pacific region is the main consumer market of global ball spline, occupying most of the market share, and benefited from the region in China, South Korea and other countries aviation, industrial machinery, intelligent robotics industry rapid development, Asia-Pacific market share is also in the gradual increase trend.
Ball spline is a kind of bearing that can provide smooth and unrestricted linear movement, belongs to one of the rolling guide components, generally consists of nut, pad plate, end cap, screw, ball, spline nut, keeper and other components. The working principle of ball spline is to make use of the steel ball in the spline nut to roll back and forth in the groove of the spline shaft, so that the nut can move along the screw for high-precision linear movement process.
Ball spline has the advantages of high rigidity, high sensitivity, large load capacity, high processing accuracy, long service life, etc. It can be widely used in robots, CNC machine tools, automotive drive systems, semiconductor packaging equipment, medical equipment and other highly reliable, highly automated machinery and equipment production scenarios, end-use applications, including automotive, semiconductor, industrial machinery, medical equipment, aerospace and so on.
Ball spline is an indispensable connecting part in automation equipment, mainly playing the role of transmitting torque and rotary motion, according to the different structure, it can be divided into cylinder type, round flange type, flange type, solid spline shaft type, hollow spline shaft type ball spline, etc.. Ball spline types are diverse and widely used, and in recent years, with the rapid development of the downstream market, its market size is expanding.
Wind power field is one of the important application markets of ball spline. Ball spline in wind power equipment is mainly used in the following aspects:
1. Wind turbine: one of the core components of wind turbine is the gear box, ball spline can be used in the transmission system of the gear box to achieve the precise transmission of high-speed rotating parts.
2. Tower: The tower of wind turbine needs to bear heavy load, ball spline can be used in the tower lifting system to achieve smooth and efficient transmission.
3. Braking system: The braking system in wind turbine equipment needs to have high reliability, ball spline can be used in the transmission parts of the braking system to improve the braking effect.
4. Yaw System: Wind turbines need to adjust the direction according to the wind direction, ball spline can be used in the transmission parts of the yaw system to achieve smooth and accurate steering.
5. Operation and maintenance equipment: The operation and maintenance equipment of wind power plants, such as crane, crane, etc., also need to use ball spline to achieve heavy load handling.
With the growing global demand for renewable energy, the wind power industry has developed rapidly. Global installed wind power capacity is expected to grow by more than 150 per cent by 2030.
As a key component of wind power equipment, the market demand for ball spline is closely related to the development of the wind power industry, and its advantages of high efficiency, high load-bearing, low noise, etc. make it an indispensable component of wind power equipment. With the continuous expansion of the wind power industry, the market demand for ball spline will continue to grow. However, the ball spline market is also facing fierce competition, and enterprises need to continuously improve product quality and innovation to meet the changing market demand.
