Phil Jones, of ABSSAC says“ lead screws and ball screws have a legitimate use in the market place, but should the application require extreme positional accuracy or perhaps high acceleration forces and rotational speeds, then the satellite roller screw products might be a better solution.

ABSSAC stocks trapezoidal lead screws for industrial and precision applications and most importantly, have knowledgeable sales staff on hand to help with customer selection. Normally referred to as the POWER SCREWS PROGRAM, they suited for the more industrial type applications where lead accuracy is in the range of 0.

Budgetbeam is the ideal connection partner for encoder, resolver, stepper motor and small electric motor axis drives. The flexible shaft coupling utilises a double start helical beam beam configuration to deliver high torsional stiffness even when rotating with shaft offsets.

One of the great things about using a lead screw for your linear applications are the options for nut styles and designs that are cost effective and offer high performance solutions. Take the TM-04 - TRUNION MOUNT ACME NUT for example, which is such a simple but effective design. Suits Thread Forms: Acme...

Available in three stepper motor sizes - NEMA 8, 11, 17 and 23. Helix Profile Rail Linear Actuators feature smooth, clean and quiet linear positioning. The PRA is built with a 300 series stainless steel precision lead screw coated with the Helix H4X™ PTFE dry lubricant that extends the lead screw nut life by 8-10 times.

. In what essentially is a design engineer’s ideal solution for a mechanical clamping device, the Helix Linear twin screws allow matched, accurate and reliable dual opposing linear motion from a single lead screw rotating in one direction.
