Installation
The success of the Glide Screw™ in an application is primarily dependent on the end support configuration. Since the Glide Screw is a combination of a lead screw and linear bearing, the ability to handle non-axial loads while maintaining positional accuracy is the key to a successful installation. The load capacity curves are based on screw deflection and not the lead nut capacity. Therefore, stiffness of the assembly determines load capacity.
Installation Step-by-Step:
1. Select end support configurationClick to Open
A fixed bearing support should be selected when possible. A support is typically a single radial bearing that is allowed to float axially to compensate for misalignments. Typical methods of attaching end supports is either base mounting or flange mounting.
