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.

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.

Combine with an externally threaded acme nut to create a custom flange nut.

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 lead screws with a single thread start.

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.

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.

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

A set of ball bearings reduces friction and secures the end of a metric ball or lead screw.

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

Precision ground to create more points of contact, these roller screws and nuts are highly accurate and handle much higher loads than ball screws and nuts of the same size.
