-=Clamp Threaded Rod and Shafts Positioning=
-*The initial design branch split is whether the mount holes for the Shafts and Threaded Rod are propagated along a common centerline or not.
-*Common centerline positioning provides the highest possible power transfer that can be attained through the 2 shaft 1 threaded rod system- because disjointed positioning can cause friction and bend-related force vectors not along the clamping axis of motion.
-However, because the workpiece must be clamped above the centerline clamp system, bending can still occur.
