Found in hand-powered clamps, vises, grates, doors, and work tables, lead screws and nuts have broad, square threads that are well suited for quick assembly, high clamping forces, and lifting and lowering heavy objects.

Also known as single-start and self-locking lead screws and nuts, these have a single thread that runs the length of the screw. The nut travels only when the screw turns, so your system won't unexpectedly move when the lead screw is at rest.

Combine with an externally threaded acme nut to create a custom flange nut.

Also known as single-start and self-locking lead screws and nuts, these have a single thread that runs the length of the screw. The nut travels only when the screw turns, so your system won't unexpectedly move when the lead screw is at rest.

Multiple thread channels (also known as thread starts) create faster linear travel than lead screws with a single thread start.

Thread these one-piece collars onto an Acme lead screw.

Install these threaded collars on a metric lead screw to separate and position components, or use them as an end stop to limit travel.
