These new antibacklash nuts last long with little maintenance. They use Haydon's self-lubricating polyacetal and rolled 303 stainless screw material to offer low drag torque and smooth operation for the life of the assembly, all on a single lubrication. They can even run dry with Haydon screws covered with the company's Black Ice™ PTFE coating process, which eliminates the usual flaking problems with other PTFE coatings. Haydon developed its own patent pending method for preloading the threaded-nut halves, maximizing system stiffness and reducing drag torque. Its design compensates for wear and eliminates lockup problems when traveling from worn to unworn areas of the screw. They can work with Haydon's current line of linear actuators or by themselves with Haydon's selection of lead screws.
Our LinkedIn systems and product design engineering group discusses if they are happy with their decision of remaining a technical contributor instead of becoming a manager.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
