Selecting Compatible Lead Screws and Nuts
More
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.

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.

Acme Lead Screws and Nuts
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.

Square nuts fasten and position lead screw components. Square nuts have large sides, which make them easier to grip with a wrench than hex nuts and keep them from rotating in channels and square holes.

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.
Black-oxide alloy steel ball screws and nuts have mild corrosion resistance.
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.

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.
