Selecting Compatible Lead Screws and Nuts

How to Identify and Measure Fittings

Pipe size is an industry designation, not the actual size. View information about how to measure threaded and unthreaded pipe and pipe fittings.

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 and size.

Cast iron components have good machinability and high strength.

Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is the distance a nut or handle moves with one revolution of the lead screw.

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 and size.

Cast iron nuts have good machinability and high strength.

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.

Cast iron nuts have good machinability and high strength.

Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is the distance a nut moves with one revolution of the lead screw.

Quick-Clamping Coil-Threaded Rods, Screws, and Nuts

Combine fast-threading components to build a clamping assembly. The coil-style threads are shallow and widely spaced for quick threading.

Flange nuts have a large bearing surface to cover holes and resist vibration.

Wing nuts can be fastened by hand.

Thick-Wall Galvanized Iron and Steel
Threaded Pipe Nipples and Pipe

Made of galvanized iron or steel, this pipe has fair corrosion resistance. It has thick, Schedule 80 walls for good strength in medium-pressure applications.

Seamless pipe has a smooth interior for unrestricted flow and is stronger than welded pipe.

Straight reducers are also known as swage nipples.
