Angle to bind ACME thread and follower?
Angle to bind ACME thread and follower?
(OP)
I have a .164-32 ACME power screw that moves a nylon follower vertically. The follower has an extension that acts as a moment arm and twists the follower perpendicular to the power screw. This twisting is causing the system to bind. My question: is there a certain angle between the axis of the follower and the axis of the screw where the system will bind? Is there a process I can follow to find this angle? Thanks- Blake
