Control & Positioning
Customers often face challenges when it comes to designing precise and reliable control and positioning of their drives. Uncertainty regarding accuracy, limit switches, or complex motion sequences frequently leads to delays and increased costs.
Here, you will learn how to control your drive effectively and with precision.
How to solve these problems – with practical, application-oriented articles
I don’t know how to ensure precise positioning of my drives
Which limit switches are truly suitable for my application?
I’m unsure which components I need for precise control
How can I seamlessly integrate the control system into my existing setup?
Importance of control and positioning
Precise control and accurate positioning are critical for the reliability and safety of screw jacks and linear chains. Inaccurate movements can lead to quality issues, increased wear, or even hazardous situations.
Challenges and solutions
The main challenge is selecting the right control components and integrating them optimally into the overall system. This section addresses these questions.

Through a spring assembly, a defined force can be combined via the spring constant. When the spring assembly is compressed, a limit switch sends back the signal. Advantage: The limit switch can also be adjusted in position, allowing the customer to precisely adjust their force point.
You can install mechanical, magnetic, or inductive limit switch solutions. Preparation for custom sensors is also possible. Please note that it's not possible to implement end position detection on traveling nut version Screw Jacks.
Ball screw spindles make sense when:
- The power consumption is too high in combination with trapezoidal screw spindles
- A higher stroke speed is desired
- A higher precision is desired
- When under pressure load: depending on the control, 100% repeatability can be achieved.
- Under changing loads: the control system must consider the backlash at the sprocket and manufacturing tolerances in the chain links.
