In many technical objects, the function of certain components is to force moving parts to follow a specific trajectory. These components are said to act as guiding controls.
GUIDING: is the mechanical function performed by any component that controls the motion of one or more moving parts.
The slides on the side of this drawer, perform a guiding function. They are therefore guiding controls.
TYPES OF GUIDING CONTROLS
In technical objects there are three main forms of guiding: translational, rotational and helical. Let's take a closer look to these three types.
Translational guiding: ensures the straight translational motion of a moving part
Rotational guiding: ensures the rotational motion of a moving part
Helical guiding: ensures the translational motion of a moving part while it rotate about the same axis
Threads inside the frame of the C-clamp control the helical guiding of the threaded shank
