Drive selection for long-travel single-axis handling
Screw span, usable travel, resonance and speed limits are key constraints in long-travel single-axis design.
TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE
Technical explanation
Long-travel design must balance screw span, usable travel and allowable speed.
A rotating nut, moving screw support and alternative rack drives can be compared.
The final choice follows travel, speed, load, accuracy and structural limits.
