  • No-lash nut assembly
    Patent number: 9080655
    Abstract: A no-lash nut assembly for installation on a threaded rod and including a lead nut, a trailing nut, a transition nut and a torsion spring. The lead and trailing nuts have threaded bores for mating with the rod. The trailing nut has an external surface configured for engagement with the lead nut to prohibit relative rotation and allow relative axial movement. The transition nut has a threaded bore for mating to trailing nut, an external surface defining a slot, and a front face having a mating surface corresponding to the rear face of the lead nut to allow relative axial movement between the lead nut and the transition nut. The torsion spring has a pin and a hook. The pin protrudes into the rear face of the lead nut and the hook protrudes into the transition nut slot to apply a rotational force on the transition nut.
