Pre-Loading force - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

Hi,

I am building a W-EDM and I will make an AB nut for it.

just like this one

I was wondering, how could I calculate the preloading force of the spring. I know it must exceed the load of the carriage but how can I calculate it in terms of spring parameters?

Will be waiting for reply,

Thanks

Hi,

I can't really help but here's a link that might point you in the right direction for "spring parameters".
