How do I properly apply a return force to a SQUIGGLE motor?

For best performance the SQUIGGLE motor screw should push along its axis, perpendicular to the a surface to be moved. Force can be applied by either end of the screw. The perpendicular surface onto which the force is applied should be a low friction surface such as Delrin. A minimum return force on the screw should be maintained at all times. See the design note: Quick tips for implementing SQUIGGLE motors. Refer also to the SQUIGGLE motor integration guides for reference designs and useful information about continually applying a return force for the SQUIGGLE motors.
