Ball screw feed drives are the most commonly used mechanism to provide linear motion in high speed machine tools. Position accuracy and the achievable closed loop bandwidth of such drive systems are usually limited by the structural vibration modes of the mechanical components. Higher order plant models allow for a better understanding of the system dynamics, improve the design process of feed drives...
The preloading is a main characteristic for the functionality of a ball screw. The path of preloading during operation with no thrust load is an indicator for the actual inner forces, the friction produced by the ball screw and finally for the quality of the unit. Due to manufacturing tolerances the preloading over the useful travel of the ball screw differs from its specified value. However, not...
