Lead Screw
Quick adjustment at the push of a button – New quick-release nut for lead screw tables
 |
Bearings specialist, igus®, now offers a “quick-release” nut for its DryLin® lead screw tables. The specially designed system makes format adjustments faster and easier by reducing the number of revolutions required to position the carriage on a lead screw assembly with a small pitch. When equipped with the quick-release nut, a DryLin lead screw table can be adjusted by simply pushing a button, which releases the linear slide from the thread. Then the carriage can be manually pushed into place and locked in position. Adjustments requiring increased precision can be made using the mechanism’s hand wheel. |
