    Multiple thread channels (also known as thread starts) create faster linear travel than lead screws with a single thread start. Operating with less backlash (play) than Precision Acme Lead Screws and Nuts, these lead screws and nuts provide increased nut life and more reliable movement in automated systems. All components are corrosion resistant for use in harsh environments. To ensure compatibility, select components that have the same thread type, thread size, and number of thread starts.

    Acetal—Acetal nuts have good wear and corrosion resistance.
    Wear-Compensating Spring—Flange nuts with wear-compensating internal O-ring or wear-compensating spring maintain a tight fit even when their threads begin to wear. They resist backlash to maintain accuracy over time, which is important in positioning applications such as 3D printing and robotics.
    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.
