Designed to tolerate a moment or side load, the unique design of the Glide Screw allows it to handle both axial, radial and moment loads without additional guidance. The result is an efficient and space-saving design that is quick and easy to install.

Compared to traditional solutions, the Glide Screw excels by speeding up and simplifying installation and by reducing field maintenance. Since the Glide Screw is both the drive system and linear guide, these features are already perfectly aligned and cannot bind. Therefore, installation is simple and the mating components do not require high tolerance geometric features.
