The Coupling That Winded Up Under Load We used a jaw-type (spider) coupling between a servo motor and a ball screw. On the bench, it positioned fine. On the machine, under load (the screw pressed with 500 N), the axis had a following error. The coupling winded up (twisted) under torque. The motor moved, but …
