    Ball Nuts

    Flange Nut

    Style C

    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.

    Designed for use with right-hand threaded rod ends, these rods have right-hand threads on both ends. Use them for remote valve operators, throttle controllers, shifting mechanisms, and virtually any push/pull assembly.
    Carbon Steel—Carbon steel rods without a plating are best for dry environments, since moisture will cause them to rust.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—18-8 stainless steel rods have good chemical resistance.
    Aluminum—Aluminum rods are lightweight and corrosion resistant in wet environments.

    Threaded Rods

    Anchor, connect, or hang components in a wide variety of applications, from mounting I-beams to suspending light fixtures.
    Medium-Strength Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Threaded Rods. Threaded Rods.
    With tensile strengths from 110,000 psi to 125,000 psi, these rods are strong enough for most industrial applications, such as anchoring machinery and connecting pipe flanges. They are about twice as strong as low-strength steel rods. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your nuts are also medium-strength steel.
    Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel and Zinc-Plated Steel—The most common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    Black-Oxide Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these rods have a dark, matte coating that creates a finished look. They offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.

    Threaded on Both Ends Setup Studs

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Setup Studs. Threaded on Both Ends Setup Studs.
    Known as setup studs, these studs withstand sideways forces better than fully threaded studs because they have a strong unthreaded middle. The unthreaded middle also makes more contact with unthreaded holes, creating better alignment than a fully threaded stud.
    18-8 Stainless Steel
    18-8 stainless steel studs have good chemical resistance and resist rusting in humid, damp, and washdown areas. They may be mildly magnetic.

    Similar to turnbuckles, these rods have right-hand threads on one end and left-hand threads on the other so you can make a linkage that adjusts for tension. Add right- and left-hand threaded rod ends to build your linkages. Rods have a hex-shaped body so you can adjust them with a wrench.
    Note: The end with the left-hand threads is marked with a groove.
