    There are many commercially available versions of these at prices from many times that of the fine threads and bushing alone. With this solution, backlash is often a problem as backlash from the two threads combines additively. Sub-micron adjusters These use a lever configuration [6] or cone configuration to divide the motion of a screw. These ...

    Ratchet fasteners are the most complex of the three fasteners to thread, but offer advantages in taking up the slack in the webbing and tensioning the assembly. Once the webbing is threaded through the fastener, the ratcheting mechanism is employed to take up the slack and tension the assembly to the necessary level.

  4. Jackscrew - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackscrew

    Screw jacks are limited in their lifting capacity. Increasing load increases friction within the screw threads. A fine pitch thread, which would increase the advantage of the screw, also reduces the speed of which the jack can operate. Using a longer operating lever soon reaches the point where the lever will simply bend at its inner end.

  5. Backlash (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backlash_(engineering)

    In mechanical engineering, backlash, sometimes called lash, play, or slop, is a clearance or lost motion in a mechanism caused by gaps between the parts. It can be defined as "the maximum distance or angle through which any part of a mechanical system may be moved in one direction without applying appreciable force or motion to the next part in mechanical sequence."

    The thread angle is the included angle, measured at a section parallel to the axis, between the two bearing faces of the thread. The angle between the axial load force and the normal to the bearing surface is approximately equal to half the thread angle, so the thread angle has a great effect on the friction and efficiency of a screw, as well ...

  8. Leadscrew - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leadscrew

    Leadscrews are manufactured in the same way as other thread forms: they may be rolled, cut, or ground. A lead screw is sometimes used with a split nut (also called half nut) which allows the nut to be disengaged from the threads and moved axially, independently of the screw's rotation, when needed (such as in single-point threading on a manual ...
