The pre-loaded ballnuts use a belleville washer spring pack to load the nut. The spring is rated at a certain load.
Once the load rating is passed (weight of the head or accelerating/decelerating forces) the nut halves (spring pack between the two halves) move closer together (or apart) causing backlash. JRouche
