Also known as single-start ball screws and nuts, these have a single thread that runs the length of the screw. They operate with more torque than fast-travel ball screws and nuts.

Keep your ball screw spinning without the ball nut damaging your system. When the ball nut reaches the stop pin at either end of the ball screw, it disengages and begins to idle.

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