I am working on a design that requires a slider that is heavily loaded in track. The slider must be able to translate along the track while loaded. The track is not extremely stiff therefore there will be some deflections.
Does anyone know of any design guidelines for designing such a joint to prevent binding or jamming of the slider in the track.
I would assume these are all variables:
-Slider Length
-Track Relative Deflection
-Waviness
-tolerances between slider and track
Also does slider/track profile matter? i.e. circular vs. dove tail.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
