Preloading in Ballscrew & LM Guideways

What is Preloading and why it is done? Preload is the elimination of internal clearance between the rail and carriage or between the ball screw and ball nut. This makes the system more rigid by creating a load on the linear guide or ball screw, which reduces deflection when an external force is applied. Preloading is used to increase the accuracy and rigidity of a ball screw system. It makes the…
