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.

Broad, strong Acme threads make these screw jacks better than ball screw jacks for heavy loads, intermittent positioning applications, and where vibration is present.

Add a flat mounting surface to to a screw jack to support loads.

Add a flat mounting surface to a ball screw jack to support loads.

Low-friction ball bearings allow these screw jacks to use half the power required by an Acme screw jack to lift the same load. Typically used as actuators, they run at higher speeds than Acme screw jacks.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Mount these two-piece collars anywhere on an Acme lead screw without removing components.

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.
