7 Mistakes to Avoid When Designing Precision Lead Screws
Avoid common design mistakes before they cost you time and money.
Webinar for design engineers and product developers | Held in German | English materials available
Which mistakes can lead to increased wear, insufficient repeatability or unnecessary development iterations when designing precision lead screws?
In this webinar, our Head of Engineering uses practical examples to explain seven common mistakes when designing precision lead screws – and how they can be avoided from the very beginning.
The correct design of a precision lead screw has a significant impact on the accuracy, service life and reliability of a positioning system. Even small design mistakes can lead to increased wear, insufficient repeatability or unnecessary development iterations.
Topics✔ Selecting the right lead screw ✔ Common design mistakes ✔ Correctly designing axial play and preload ✔ Understanding tolerances and manufacturing influences ✔ Optimizing service life and repeatability ✔ Practical engineering tips from real-world projects | What you will learn✔ how to select the appropriate lead ✔ how to minimize axial play ✔ which factors influence service life ✔ which tolerances are critical for precision applications ✔ which mistakes can lead to high costs later in the development process ✔ how to avoid the most common design mistakes |
