ACME Leadscrew

Precision rolled with a 29 degree ACME thread form provides both efficiency of motion and load strength. Formed by a cold rolling process the lead screw material has a smooth finish for reduced friction and a strong grain structure for driving high loads. Maximum length of screw as is 144 inch on this imperially sized product. ACME thread sizes range between 3/16" and 5/8" in outside diameter and conform to ANSI B1.5 and B1.8 thread standards. The product is available in single or multiple start thread forms.
