    Self-Reversing Lead Screws and Nuts

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Contains Inset. Precision Lead Screws and Nuts. Self-Reversing Lead Screws and Nuts.
    A crisscross thread pattern allows you to drive the nut back and forth without changing the lead screw's direction of rotation. When the nut reaches one end of the lead screw, it changes direction and travels back to the other end. Also known as diamond lead screws, they're sometimes used to guide cable and wire as it's spooled on a reel.

    Self-Stopping Ball Screws and Nuts

    Stop Pin Shown Installed

    Keep your ball screw spinning without the ball nut damaging your system—a clutch-like collar inside the ball nut prevents it from travelling past the stop pins. Install the included stop pins anywhere along the length of the ball screw by drilling a hole in the valley of the threads (also known as the root) and pressing in the stop pin. When the collar meets the stop pin, the ball nut disengages from the threads and begins to idle. To start the ball nut travelling again, spin the ball screw in the opposite direction. All components are black-oxide steel and have mild corrosion resistance. To ensure compatibility, select components that have the same thread size. Ball nuts are furnished with a tube to keep ball bearings in place. Do not remove the tube until you are ready to install the nuts onto the screws.
