This slide has overload protection.
1. If the screw is retracted too much, the screw just comes out and no harm is done.
2. If the slide encounters blockage on the left, the max force on the blockage is the spring return force.
3. If the slide encounters blockage on the right, then the nut tilts in reaction to the force and binds the screw from turning.

Could you explain a real world example of how this device is used? Thanks
Q: Could you explain a real world example of how this device is used?
A: No, because I don't know of any real world examples that use this concept. Same goes for design "B". I'm interested in simpler ideas for accomplishing the same task, ideas for improving the design, and reasons why the design might not work as intended. In design "A", the reaction of the tilted nut creates additional friction that subtracts from the available screw torque. I'm not absolutely certain it will work in real life.

P.S. The pivoting brake on design "A" is similar to the pivoting brake on a calk gun.
Thanks for the explanation of how it works. I wasn't sure about how those two pinion gears on each side of the screw could possibly work correctly as gears but now that you clarified the fact that they represent a single nut, it all makes sense. I now see how the "pivoting brake" works.

Even though I don't have anywhere near the mechanical expertise that you have, I still find this stuff to be very interesting and clever. Nice job on the scene!
Thanks.
