  • Linear Motion Systems: Only as Strong as Weakest Link
    , system backlash, accuracy, and other performance aspects can be traced back to elements in the design and manufacture of the leadscrew, anti-backlash nut, couplings, motor, and control strategy.
  • Linear Motion Systems Case Study
    A manufacturer of a highly precise SLA style 3D printer needed to hold layer resolutions to an exacting level of 10 um. The mechanical accuracy of the constant-force anti-backlash nut and leadscrew coupled with the high performance of a smart step-servo motor made for a system well within
  • Anti-Backlash Technology: Axial Take-up Mechanism
    The standard method for taking up backlash is to bias two nut halves axially using some type of compliant spring. (Wavy washer, compression spring, rubber washer, etc.). The unit is very stiff in the direction in which the nut half is loaded against the flank of the screw thread. However
  • 5 Tips for Implementing an Integrated Stepper Linear Actuator System
    , pulling or pushing the connected device with precision motion. A typical application includes a precision metering or dispensing pump that provides mechanical support and anti-rotation of the leadscrew. The guided linear actuator (captive, internal nut) is similar in functionality to the non-captive
