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. 360 brass nuts have excellent machinability and good corrosion resistance. PET plastic nuts are lightweight and corrosion resistant. PEEK plastic nuts handle twice as much heat as PET and acetal plastic nuts. They have good chemical resistance and excellent corrosion resistance.
Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is the distance a nut moves with one revolution of the lead screw.
