Over 48,000 metals now include traceable material certificates.

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. To ensure compatibility, please select components that have the same thread direction, size, and pitch. Class 7E and 7H components are compatible.

Black-oxide carbon steel components have mild corrosion resistance. 932 bearing bronze components are more wear resistant than brass components. They have good machinability and fair corrosion resistance.

Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is the distance a nut moves with one revolution of the lead screw.

Often paired with spring lock washers to strengthen their hold, these retaining nuts—also known as shaft nuts—keep vibration from shifting bearings, bushings, pulleys, and gears on your threaded shaft or spindle. They have slotted sides, so you can tighten and loosen them with a spanner wrench or spanner socket. Made of carbon steel, they’re strong and wear resistant.

Use stepped-face retaining nuts with DIN 462 spring lock washers. You can also use them in pairs or with other bearing retaining nuts as jam nuts. For the nut closer to the bearing, position the stepped face towards the bearing. All meet DIN standards for bearing lockout dimensions.
