Kerk Motion Products offers its VHD series, designed to eliminate drag and wear associated with high pre-load forces. The anti-backlash assembly provides maximum load-carrying capability and the highest axial and radial stiffness of any Kerk nut assembly.

The company's Axial Take-up Mechanism creates a stiff spacer that continually expands to accommodate wear occurring during use. The self-lubricating, stainless-steel screws are said to combat environmental and noise reduction challenges in the packaging industry.
