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.

Keep your ball screw spinning without the ball nut damaging your system. When the ball nut reaches the stop pin at either end of the ball screw, it disengages and begins to idle.

Also known as single-start ball screws and nuts, these have a single thread that runs the length of the screw. They operate with more torque than fast-travel ball screws and nuts.

Thread these one-piece collars onto an Acme lead screw.

A crisscross thread pattern allows you to drive the nut back and forth without changing the lead screw's direction of rotation. When the nut reaches one end of the lead screw, it changes direction and travels back to the other end.

Internal ball bearings provide smooth low-friction travel in applications that require high speeds, accurate positioning, and repeatable movement. Also known as single-start metric ball screws and nuts, these have a single thread that runs the length of the screw.

Also known as single-start and self-locking lead screws and nuts, these 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.

Multiple thread channels (also known as thread starts) create faster linear travel than ball screws with a single thread start.

Install these nuts on a rotary shaft to create a linear positioning system without a lead screw. Instead of threads, a set of angled ball bearings drives the nut along a shaft as it spins.

Also known as trapezoidal-thread lead screws and nuts.

Multiple thread channels (also known as thread starts) create faster linear travel than lead screws with a single thread start.
