| Scroller Mechanics has a self-aligning, self-supporting
geometry that offers ideal load distribution - with
no backlash, unlike the point load capacity of conventional
gear/rolling mechanics.
Loads spread evenly along the rollers due to:
- high contact between rollers and belts
- stable tug points along the belt row (Link: Geometry)
The no-slip grip of the scroller's geometry can easily
handle abnormally high forces and torques.
Torque in the direction of rotation can be absorbed through
traction and tensioning.

The inherently stable geometry of the Scroller can be
enhanced if side loads are high, to avoid side-slip.
