Webinars for Design Engineers – Engineering Knowledge for Precise Linear Motion
Our webinar series delivers practical engineering know-how for design engineers, product developers, and engineers who develop precise linear motion or design positioning systems. These are compact live webinars with a strong practical focus, giving you the chance to discuss your questions directly with our engineering experts.
The focus is on technical fundamentals, design guidelines, and proven solutions from practice – drawn directly from our many years of experience in developing, optimizing, and manufacturing high-precision lead screw drives, actuators, and positioning assemblies.

7 Mistakes in Designing Precise Lead Screw Drives (in German)
Avoid common design mistakes before they cost you time and money.
Free live webinar for design engineers and product developers.
In this free live webinar, our Head of Design uses practical examples to show you the seven most common mistakes made when designing precise lead screw drives – and how to avoid them from the start.
The design of a precision lead screw drive plays a decisive role in the accuracy, service life, and reliability of a positioning system. Even small design mistakes can lead to increased wear, insufficient repeatability, or unnecessary development loops.
Topics Covered✔ Selecting the right lead screw drive ✔ Common design mistakes ✔ Correctly designing axial play and preload ✔ Understanding tolerances and manufacturing influences ✔ Optimizing service life and repeatability ✔ Practical engineering tips from real projects | After this webinar, you'll know ...✔ which lead is the right choice ✔ how to avoid axial play ✔ what influences service life ✔ which tolerances really matter ✔ which mistakes lead to high costs later on ✔ how to avoid the most common mistakes |
In this webinar, our Head of Design, Dipl.-Ing. Detlef Rode, uses practical examples to show you the most common mistakes made when designing precise lead screw drives. For many years, Mr. Rode has been developing custom precision lead screw drives for applications in medical technology, laboratory automation, optics, and mechanical engineering. Benefit from over 30 years of experience in developing precise lead screw drives and avoid typical design mistakes right from the design stage. |
