Adjusting Leadscrew
Backlash
Leadscrew backlash is the amount of motion or
"play" in leadscrew rotation before the attached
device begins to move. Leadscrews will always
have a certain amount of backlash that will
increase with normal wear.
Generally, 0.005"–0.010" leadscrew backlash is
acceptable to ensure smooth movement and
reduce the risk of premature thread wear. However,
if you find it necessary to adjust leadscrew back-
lash, perform the procedures listed below.
