Once you've determined the requirements of your linear motion application, how can you qualify a linear motion product to ensure it meets your applications' needs?
Request infoManufacturer's specs are often vague and/or incomplete. The only sure way is to test the product yourself. However, simply testing a product in the final application is usually not possible at such an early stage in the design process. This article will describe a series of tests that can be performed by the average user with little experience and without sophisticated measuring instruments to quickly determine the most important performance characteristics of linear motion systems.
This article will include the following:
1. Introduction
A. Abstract
B. Author Bio
C. Photos
2. How to Measure the Performance Characteristics of a Linear Motion Device
A. Test Equipment
B. Measuring Speed
C. Measuring Load Capacity
D. Measuring Position Error
A. Y Error and Yaw Error
B. Pitch Error
C. Z Error and Roll Error
D. X Error
E. Measuring Repeatability
F. Measuring Backlash
G. Measuring Parallelism
