    Precision Acme Lead Screws and Nuts

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Contains Inset. Precision 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, thread size, and number of thread starts.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Precision Lead Screws and Nuts. Precision Acme Lead Screws and Nuts, Externally Threaded Nuts—Right-Hand Thread.
    Combine externally threaded nuts with a flange to create a custom flange nut.
    360 Brass—360 brass nuts have excellent machinability and good corrosion resistance.
    673 Bronze—932 bearing bronze and 673 bronze nuts are wear resistant. They have good machinability and fair corrosion resistance.
    PET—PET plastic nuts are lightweight and corrosion resistant.
    PEEK—PEEK plastic nuts handle twice as much heat as PET and acetal plastic nuts. They have good chemical resistance and excellent corrosion resistance.
    Travel Distance per Turn—Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is the distance a nut moves with one revolution of the lead screw.

    Thread-Locking Threaded Inserts

    Image of Product. Bottom orientation. Threaded Inserts. Thread-Locking Threaded Inserts.
    With Loctite® adhesive already on the threads, these inserts won’t back out or vibrate loose. The adhesive reaches full strength after 72 hours. Unlike helical inserts, you can install them with a standard drill and tap. However, thread-locking inserts are difficult to remove and reuse.
    After drilling and tapping your hole, install inserts with a wrench or an installation bit. To use a wrench, thread an insert and two hex nuts onto a bolt. Then, grip and turn the top nut to drive into the hole. For slotted inserts, you can drive with a slotted screwdriver instead.
    Standard Wall—Stronger than thin-wall inserts, these are your go-to choice for threading most holes.
    Thin Wall—Use these inserts near the edge of workpieces or wherever you only have space for a small hole. They're also lighter than standard and extra-thick wall inserts for applications with strict weight limits.
    Black Phosphate-Coated Steel—These inserts resist occasional moisture.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals.

    Mil.-Spec. Key-Locking Threaded Inserts For Soft Metal

    Image of Product. Bottom orientation. Threaded Inserts. Mil.-Spec. Key-Locking Threaded Inserts For Soft Metal.
    These inserts are manufactured and tested to meet or compare to strict standards adopted by the U.S. military. The keys drive into aluminum and other soft metal for a secure hold that won't slip or rotate, even in vibrating vehicle or aerospace parts. These inserts are comparable to Keensert inserts.
    To install, drill and tap a hole in your material. Then, thread the insert onto the installation tool and screw it into the hole. Place the tool over the keys and hit it with a hammer to drive them in.
    Standard Wall—Stronger than thin-wall inserts, these are your go-to choice for threading most holes.
    Extra-Thick Wall—Stronger than standard- and thin-wall inserts, use them to reduce the size of tapped holes or replace threads that have been drilled out.
    High-Strength Cadmium-Plated Alloy Steel—These inserts have the strength to stand up to high-pressure applications and a plating that helps screws thread in smoothly.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals.

    Add strong threads in soft metal, such as aluminum. The keys on these inserts drive into holes to hold more securely than thread-locking or helical inserts. They prevent slipping and rotating, so they’re stable enough for use in vehicle or aerospace parts that experience heavy vibration. These inserts are comparable to Keensert inserts.
    To install, drill and tap a hole in your material. Then, thread the insert onto the installation tool and screw it into the hole. Place the tool over the keys and hit it with a hammer to drive them in.

    Pronged

    The irregularly shaped threads tightly grip screws to prevent them from loosening or backing out under vibration. Use these inserts to create or repair threads in pumps and other machinery that shakes and rattles. Also known as Heli-Coil inserts.
    Installation requires a drill bit, a helical insert tap, and an installation tool.
    Pronged—The prong attaches to an installation tool for precise control as you drive inserts in. Remove the prong with a punch or break-off tool before inserting a screw.

    Pronged

    Restore, reinforce, or create threads in metal. The tough coils on these inserts expand once installed to anchor in a tapped hole. Also known as Heli-Coil inserts, they're often used in engine heads and machinery housings where strong connections are critical. Unlike threadlocking inserts, you can remove and reuse them without them losing their strength.
    Installation requires a drill bit, a helical insert tap, and an installation tool.

    Smoothly install these inserts for strong threads near the edges and corners of soft metal surfaces. They’re lubricated to prevent sticking as you thread them in. Since these have thinner walls than our key-locking and thread-locking inserts, they don’t need as much space and won't bulge or crack the material. The knurls press (swage) into the material to keep inserts in place when you tighten or loosen a screw.
    To install these inserts, you need a drill bit, a counterbore, a standard tap, an installation tool, and a hammer. Drill a hole, counterbore the top, and tap it. Place the insert into the installation tool, then hand-tighten it into the tapped hole. Strike the tool to secure the insert and drive the knurls into the surrounding material.
    High-Strength Dry-Film-Lubricated Cadmium-Plated Alloy Steel—Stronger than our 17-4 PH stainless steel inserts, these inserts absorb impact without cracking and stand up to high-pressure applications. The cadmium plating prevents corrosion in wet environments.

    Add strong threads to the edges of soft metal without bulging or cracking the material. These inserts have thinner walls than our key-locking and thread-locking inserts, so they don’t need as much space around them. The knurls press (swage) into the material to keep inserts in place when you tighten or loosen a screw.
    To install these inserts, you need a drill bit, a counterbore, a standard tap, an installation tool, and a hammer. Drill a hole, counterbore the top, and tap it. Place the insert into the installation tool, then hand-tighten it into the tapped hole. Strike the tool to secure the insert and drive the knurls into the surrounding material.
    High-Strength 17-4 PH Stainless Steel—The strongest stainless steel inserts we offer. They handle high-stress installations, such as pump and compressor housings, and the heavy vibration of aircraft parts. They won’t rust in wet and outdoor environments but can’t withstand the harsh chemicals and acids that 316 stainless steel can.
