#9: How to calculate beam deflection

beam deflection equationsWhen a linear motion system is mounted with only end supports or in a cantilevered orientation, it’s important to ensure that the specified maximum deflection isn’t exceeded. Fortunately, most linear guides and actuators can be modeled as beams, and their deflection can be calculated using common beam deflection equations.
