A control lever/dial provides 100 discrete settings, permitting changes to the drive’s linear pitch in 0.01” increments. Alternatively, for applications requiring more precision, a worm gear design allows adjustment in pitch by turning a control knob attached to a threaded rod; this provides virtually unlimited fine tuning of linear speed.
