FlexScrew Lead Screw
Feinmess Suhl offers the FlexScrew technology, a high-precision lead screw with compensating design that corrects inaccuracies within an assembly. As a result, lateral forces acting on the screw, temperature differences or lateral motions can be optimally corrected.
The drives can be equipped with pre-assembled fixed bearings. This allows the user to achieve the outstanding accuracy of these lead screw drives in applications that would otherwise require high-precision attachments, highly experienced technicians, and a complex adjustment process.
Highlights
- Optimal run: ensures smooth, noiseless motions
- Simple enclosure: protection against contamination and external effects
- Compensating elements: compensate for misalignments, parallel offsets, temperature differences, and other external effects
- Backlash-free preloaded nut: increases precision and stability (customized designs possible on request)
- Four compensating couplings: prevent tilting and parallel offset in two levels
- Lubricant reservoir: ensures long-term, smooth operation of the lead screw
