Influence of linear ball guide preloads and retainers on the microscopic motions of a feed-drive system

This paper describes the effects of preloading and ball retainer conditions of linear ball guides on a feed-drive system operating on a microscopic scale, as this is important for applications that employ linear guides in precision machines. To begin, relationships between nonlinear spring behaviors...
