Squeaks and Rattles

Squeaks and Rattles

When relative motion between components is improperly controlled, squeaks and rattles may result. Prevent squeaks and rattles using the following procedure:

* Attach each component securely in order to ensure that the component operates with no relative motion.
* Separate the components in order to ensure that the components do not contact each other during operating conditions.
* Insulate components in order to ensure that no squeaks or rattles occur with relative motion between components. Low uniform friction surfaces are available which will eliminate stick-slip motion.
