    Operating with less backlash (play) than Precision Acme Lead Screws and Nuts, these provide increased nut life and more reliable movement in automated systems. 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. All components are corrosion resistant for use in harsh environments. To ensure compatibility, select components that have the same thread type, thread size, and number of thread starts.

    Acetal—Acetal nuts have good wear and corrosion resistance.
    Wear-Compensating Spring—Flange nuts with wear-compensating internal O-ring or wear-compensating spring maintain a tight fit even when their threads begin to wear. They resist backlash to maintain accuracy over time, which is important in positioning applications such as 3D printing and robotics.
    Travel Distance per Turn—Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is the distance a nut moves with one revolution of the lead screw.
