Product catalog summary
Overview
PBC Linear, a Pacific Bearing Company, offers advanced linear motion solutions featuring Constant Force Technology. This technology ensures uniform pressure application throughout the motion profile, enhancing performance and longevity.

Constant Force Screw & Nut
The Constant Force nuts are self-lubricating and maintenance-free, providing smooth and quiet operation without metal-to-metal contact. Key features include:
  • Greater consistency and resistance to backlash
  • Configurable for various torque requirements
  • Patent-pending self-adjusting anti-backlash feature
  • Custom solutions available

Nut Options
  • Constant Force Nut
  • Coil Spring Adjustable Anti-Backlash Nut
  • Machined One-Piece Nut

Lead Screw Features
  • Made from 300 series stainless steel with PTFE coating
  • Available in diameters of 6, 10, 12, and 16 mm
  • Lead options include 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 25 mm
  • Custom sizes, materials, and finishes available

Integrated Hybrid Linear Actuators
These actuators reduce component count, improve rigidity, and eliminate tolerance stack-up. They are available in NEMA 17, 23, and 34 flange sizes with single, double, and triple stack motors.

Performance Characteristics
The performance of different nut types is evaluated based on dynamic capacity, minimal drag torque, backlash/wear compensation, vibration damping ability, rigidity, and consistent smoothness. The Constant Force Nut generally offers optimum performance across these metrics.

Application Examples
  • X-Y-Z assemblies
  • Medical equipment (e.g., well plate handling, blood analyzers)
  • Valve controls
  • Semiconductor manufacturing

Additional Information
PBC Linear emphasizes the importance of determining the suitability of their products for specific applications. They offer repair or replacement for defective components but assume no further liability. Specifications are subject to change without notice.

Constant Force Technology Introduction Sheet-1

Lead Screws, Nuts, & Hybrid Linear Actuators NEW The nuts are self-lubricating, maintenance free, and require no external lubrication in most applications — resulting in a smooth, quiet operation with no metal-to-metal contact. Constant Force Technology applies a uniform pressure to the nut at all stages of a motion profile and throughout it's life.
