    Multiple thread channels (also known as thread starts) create faster linear travel than ball screws with a single thread start. Internal ball bearings provide smooth low-friction travel in applications that require high speeds, accurate positioning, and repeatable movement. To ensure compatibility, select components that have the same thread size and number of thread starts. 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.

    Carbon Steel—Carbon steel ball screws and nuts are case hardened, so they resist wear better than standard carbon steel. However, they are less corrosion resistant than black-oxide alloy steel screws and nuts.
    Travel Distance per Turn—Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is the distance a ball nut moves with one revolution of the ball screw.

    Triangle Bits

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Screwdriver Bits. Triangle Bits.
    These unique three-point bits turn triangle-drive screws. They are commonly used to fasten safety covers on electronics. Also known as TA bits.
    Quick-Change Hex Shank—Lock these bits directly into power tools. They won't wobble as much as bits paired with an adapter, so they are the best choice for high-precision tasks.
    Steel—Best for dry environments, since moisture will cause these bits to rust.

    Ball Screws and Nuts

    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.

    With a plastic seal and closed body, these rivet nuts add threads to sheet metal while keeping out water and dust. Install them in wet environments on surfaces that protect equipment, such as fuse box housings. They help maintain an enclosure’s IP68 rating for protection from water submersion and airborne dust.
    Install these nuts in a drilled or punched round hole using a rivet nut tool. Choose an air- or battery-powered tool for faster installation or to install many different nut sizes. Length is measured from under the flange.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these nuts resist rust and mild chemicals.

    Add threads to thin panels while keeping a flush surface. The angled head on these nuts sits evenly within your panel so nothing catches or juts out. They're ideal when space is tight around fasteners in machinery and equipment, or when appearance matters.
    Install these nuts in a drilled or punched countersunk round hole using a rivet nut tool. Choose an air- or battery-powered tool for fast installation or to easily switch between many different nut sizes. Length is measured from under the flange.

    Thread our most economical magnets into position, then readjust if needed. With built-in durability, a protective case shields these from cracks and chips caused by bumps and drops. Ceramic magnets deliver a cost-effective balance of corrosion and temperature resistance. However, they are not as strong as rare earth magnets.
    Warning: Maximum pull ratings are based on direct contact with rust-free, unpainted iron surfaces. Variations in material condition will significantly reduce holding strength. Do not use for lifting over people.

    Screw into tapped holes for secure mounting that’s also removable.
    Nickel-Plated Steel Case—Offers similar corrosion resistance to chrome plating to withstand salt water and chemicals. However, nickel is more likely to wear off over time.
    Powder-Coated Steel Case—The coating creates a corrosion-resistant barrier for outdoor applications.
