How it works

Zero Backlash on a Rack

Two ways to take the play out.

DualDRIVE – Mechanical Preload

Two reducers drive the same rack and are wound against each other, torsionally preloading the pinions. The play disappears and only one motor is needed, which keeps the control simple.

TwinDRIVE – Electrical Preload

Each reducer has its own motor. One drives the axis while the other applies an opposing torque, cancelling the backlash electronically.
