Why Choose One Form Factor Over Another?

  1. What is the best mechanical fit for your application?

  2. How do you plan to attach the screw?

  3. Is rotation of the screw acceptable?

  4. Does your application require an encoder or brake?

  5. What is the stroke of your application?

WHAT ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS DO YOU HAVE?

DINGS’ Motion USA linear motion systems are designed to operate in dry and non-corrosive environments. Standard products do not have an IP rating. Operating non-IP rated linear systems in dirty or corrosive environments will significantly reduce product life.

TEMPERATURE

Very high or low temperatures may cause significant changes in nut fit or drag force.

MAXIMUM DYNAMIC LOAD

Each NEMA frame size motor has a mechanical load maximum that should not be exceeded. For more information, see Speed/Force curves for the individual frame sizes.

MOTOR SELECTION

In order to select the right motor/lead screw combination with the lead screw, several factors should be considered:

  1. How much force is required?

  2. What is the desired step angle?

  3. Detent or holding force requirements?

  4. Physical size restrictions?

  5. What type of driver (amplifier) are you using?
