The second ball track has a third side wall and a fourth side wall. A second track and a second damping element are disposed on the third side wall. The first track and the second track jointly form a receiving space for disposing a plurality of balls abutted by both the first track and the second track. The second damping element and the first damping element get in contact and rub against each other to be rotatable relative to each other. The present disclosure provides a damping for rotating through rubbing between the damping elements.
