Medical Devices & Lab Automation · Application
Syringe and infusion pumps
Fine-pitch leadscrews with anti-backlash nuts push the syringe plunger at a precise, steady rate.
- What was needed
- Single Start Leadscrew, Anti-Backlash Lead Nut
- Requirements
- Small, exact volume increments
- Steady rate without stick-slip
- No backlash
- Industry
- Medical Devices & Lab Automation
- Result
- Precise, steady dosing with every motor step producing movement.
Problem
Syringe and dosing pumps deliver small, exact volumes over long periods. The plunger must move at a steady rate in very small increments, without backlash or stick-slip.
Solution
A fine-lead leadscrew driven by a motor advances the plunger in tiny steps; an anti-backlash nut removes play so every step produces movement.
Benefits
Why it works
Precise dosing
Fine lead for small, exact increments.
Smooth and repeatable
Anti-backlash nuts remove play.
