Selecting Compatible Lead Screws and Nuts

Precision Acme Lead Screws and Nuts

Pair with a motor in automated motion and positioning applications. A tight thread fit allows these lead screws and nuts to make accurate, repeatable starts and stops. Also known as single-start and self-locking lead screws and nuts, they 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. To ensure compatibility, please select components that have the same thread direction and size.
Cast iron nuts have good machinability and high strength. 932 bearing bronze and 673 bronze nuts are wear resistant. They have good machinability and fair corrosion resistance. PET plastic nuts are lightweight and corrosion resistant.
Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is the distance a nut moves with one revolution of the lead screw.

Acme Lead Screws and Nuts

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 and size.
Cast iron components have good machinability and high strength. 360 brass components have excellent machinability and good 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 or handle moves with one revolution of the lead screw.

Clamping Acme Lead Screw Collars

Thread these one-piece collars onto an Acme lead screw to separate and position components, or use them as an end stop to limit travel. Tighten the clamping screw to secure.
To ensure compatibility, please select a collar that has the same thread type, direction, and size as your lead screw.
Black-oxide carbon steel collars have mild corrosion resistance. 303 stainless steel collars have good corrosion resistance.

Two-Piece Clamping Acme Lead Screw Collars

Mount these two-piece collars anywhere on an Acme lead screw without removing components. Use them to separate and position components or as an end stop to limit travel. Tighten the clamping screw to secure.
To ensure compatibility, please select a collar that has the same thread type, direction, and size as your lead screw.
Black-oxide carbon steel collars have mild corrosion resistance.
