5/8"-8 Nuts | McMaster-Carr

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, thread size, and number of thread starts.

Carbon steel components are easier to machine than alloy steel components. Zinc-plated carbon steel components have mild corrosion resistance. Alloy steel components are harder and stronger than carbon steel components. 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. 18-8 stainless steel components have good corrosion resistance. 316 stainless steel components have excellent 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.

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.

Carbon steel lead screws and flanges have good machinability. Black-oxide alloy steel lead screws are hard and strong. They have mild corrosion resistance and a dark surface color. 303 and 304 stainless steel lead screws and flanges have good corrosion resistance.

932 bearing bronze and 673 bronze nuts are wear resistant. They have good machinability and fair corrosion resistance. Cast iron nuts have good machinability and high strength. 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.

Lead Screws—Right-Hand-and-Left-Hand Threaded

Right-Hand-and-Left-Hand Threads

Right-hand-and-left-hand threaded lead screws have right-hand threads on one end and left-hand threads on the other. Use them where you want to drive nuts in opposite directions at the same time, such as for widening and narrowing chutes on packing and assembly lines. Note: A short length of threading at the center of the lead screw is not usable.

Fast-Travel Precision Acme Lead Screws and Nuts

Multiple thread channels (also known as thread starts) create faster linear travel than lead screws with a single thread start. The threads have a tight thread fit for accurate, repeatable starts and stops. Pair with a motor in automated motion and positioning applications. To ensure compatibility, please select components that have the same thread direction, thread size, and number of thread starts.

Carbon steel lead screws and flanges have good machinability. 303 and 304 stainless steel lead screws and flanges have good corrosion resistance.

360 brass nuts have excellent machinability and good corrosion resistance.

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

Fast-Travel Ultra-Precision Lead Screws and Nuts

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.

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

Flange Nuts—Right-Hand Threaded

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 applications such as 3D printing and robotics.

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, size, and number of thread starts as your lead screw.

Black-oxide carbon steel collars have mild corrosion resistance. 303 stainless steel collars have good corrosion resistance.
