Ball Screws and Nuts
Internal ball bearings provide smooth low-friction travel in applications that require high speeds, accurate positioning, and repeatable movement. Also known as single-start ball screws and nuts, they have a single thread that runs the length of the screw. They operate with more torque than fast-travel ball screws and nuts. To ensure compatibility, select components that have the same thread direction and 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.
Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is the distance a ball nut moves with one revolution of the ball screw.

Root diameter indicates the diameter the ball screw will be after machining away the threads.

Metric Threaded on Both Ends Studs
Also known as setup studs, these studs withstand sideways forces better than fully threaded studs because they have an unthreaded middle that is stronger than the treaded ends. The unthreaded middle also makes more contact with unthreaded holes, which creates better alignment than a fully threaded stud.
18-8 stainless steel studs resist chemicals and rusting in wet environments. They may be mildly magnetic.

Encased Ceramic Magnets with Threaded Hole
These ceramic magnets resist demagnetization better than other magnets, and have a metal case to protect the magnetic material. They resist temperatures up to 175° or 245° F.
Magnets with a steel case have a more concentrated and focused magnetic field than magnets with an aluminum case.
Warning: Maximum pull ratings are based on direct contact with rust-free and unpainted iron plate. Variations in material condition will significantly reduce these ratings. Do not use for lifting over people.
