Re: Lead Screws Spinning Out Of Sync

We have 2 ball screws this season that have to be timed and we had debated using PID loops, but ended up settling on mechanically timing due to its simpler nature and proven reliability. For example, timing belts (what we used) and chain are both methods of mechanically timing, you could use gears as well although it is trickier.
