Lead screws are a common component found in a range of equipment from lathes and milling equipment to measuring systems.

These screws usually work alongside nuts – a type of fastener with a threaded hole. The nut twists onto the lead screw thread. As the lead screw turns or rotates, the nut then moves along the screw in a linear motion. This is helpful in motion control applications when you need to translate turning or rotating movements. This product has a 4 mm lead size, between 0.1 mm per 300 mm lead accuracy and 0.5 mm per 300 mm straightness.

Their excellent hardness and surface finish of these screws means they create less friction and are more hard-wearing than other screws. This not only enhances connections but increases their longevity as you won't need to replace them as often as machined thread screws.
