Hephaist

Low Friction High Performance Ball Joints

Myostat proudly offers low friction, 1 um backlash high precision ball joints. Hephaist's Spherical Rolling Joint provides a high precision and rigid ball joint for demanding parallel robotics and photonics applications. The center globe is assembled under pre-load conditions resulting in a smooth, consistent rocking motion with extremely low frictional resistance, and zero clearance. For over forty-years, Hephaist has been at the forefront of research and development on linear motion mechanisms and bearing surface treatments. Providing high levels of accuracy and stiffness, they have built a reputation for developing cutting edge technology to answer the demanding needs of the linear and bearing market.
