Handling is good on a smooth road surface, but the forks don't work all that well due to excessive stiction. |
|
Flexures provide quasilinear translation without stiction and friction, but flexure-based-translational motion is inherently arcuate. |
|
Excessive stiction means substantial impacts are needed to activate this fork, so it lacks small-bump sensitivity. |
|
Common valve problems include stiction, backlash, undersizing, and oversizing. |
|
Other developments are focused on adhesive failure during the incipient stages of friction, i.e. stiction. |
|
The air fork performed well for a fork in this price range, meeting every expectation for stiction and stiffness, and response to both big and little hits. |
|
The compression stroke does see some initial stiction, but once activated, feels smooth and progressive as the fork reaches its full 100 mm of travel. |
|
Surface micromachining technology has made many significant advances recently, but release and in-use stiction remain a key problem. |
|
In very small objects, this force can cause moving parts to stick together, an effect known as stiction. |
|
A higher dimensional accuracy reportedly contributes to a reduction of stiction errors in the packaging process. |
|
By communicating the actual valve position, process engineers are able to check for valve stiction, which can increase operating costs and compromise process quality. |
|
In particular, if contamination reaches roller guide tracks and the capstan shaft, stiction can occur during load and unload, causing the media to jam up in the drive. |
