Manufacturing Process | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Rolled Thread | Rolled screws are cold rolled from a blank. Typically, this produces a screw with a .004 inch per foot accuracy. | ||
Milled Thread | Milled screws are made on a milling machine using a cutter with an Acme form. Typically, this produces a screw with a .002 inch per foot accuracy. | ||
Ground Thread | Ground screws are made on a grinding wheel with an Acme form. Typically, this produces a screw with .0005 inch per foot lead accuracy. | ||

Design Features | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Lubrication Port | |||
Left Hand Thread | The direction of the threads on the screw shaft causing the ball nut to travel away from the end viewed when rotated counter-clockwise. | ||
Right Hand Thread | The direction of the threads on the screw shaft causing the ball nut to travel away from the end viewed when rotated clockwise. | ||
Twin Lead | Lead is the axial distance a screw travels during one revolution. Twin leads are useful in opposing dual motion using a single drive system. This design features both the Left and Right Hand threads. | ||
Zero Backlash Design | Backlash is the axial free motion between the nut and screw. It is a measure of the stiffness of the assembly. | ||
