Lead screw (custom)

Are you looking for a lead screw supplier that can produce exactly what you want ? Or perhaps you have an old acme screw that needs replacing but have no technical drawing specifications to work from.

Abssac has expanded its lead screw ranges further incorporating the machining facility to supply any type of thread form that you may require. Most common thread forms are the acme or trapezoidal but Abssac can also supply multi-start or special thread profile requirements.

When you want a more sophisticated nut design the chances are the part has more importance in the workings of the machine. By supplying both the screw and nut from the one source, Abssac Limited can eliminate this area of potential trouble. The designer can also utilise the experience of its engineers to incorporate many features into the nut design in complete confidence.

To date many bespoke nut designs have been supplied, including optical mounts, cams, external threads, mounting holes, pulley grooves, tangs and linear guides to name a few. Lead screw sizes range from 1mm diameter up to 100mm with a wide range of both metric and imperial leads per diameter. Nuts can be manufactured in just about any machinable material including Bronze, steels and advanced plastics such as Delrin, PTFE or Turcite .

We have recently supplied a bespoke nut design for an engraving machine manufacturer who required a Turcite nut design to incorporate a square rigid body, 6 locating holes of differing diameter and a linear guide slot on the traversing head.  Abssac can also supply self reversing screw formats.
