CmSe is given by (2.4,8), so (2.6,11) becomes for this case

Using (2.6,4b) this becomes
The difference (h’n — h) is called the control-free static margin, K’n. When representative numerical values are used in (2.6,13) one finds that hn – h’n may be typically about 0.08. This represents a substantial forward movement of the NP, with consequent reduction of static margin, pitch stiffness, and stability.
