I started off seeing if it was possible to engage a _lot_ of teeth. The fact that the balls can be inserted later means that the normal assembly problems of a very-enveloping worm can be avoided. However, the more teeth you try to engage the more the ball groove geometry is compromised. I was intending to use a gothic-arch profile as in a ball-screw and then adjust the centre distance to achieve a preload and zero backlash. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
