Trapezoidal Lead Screws and Nuts: Reliable Solutions for Linear Motion

By OIC27 Nov 2024Linear Motion components

Trapezoidal lead screws are essential components in converting rotational movement into precise linear motion. Known for their ability to handle high positioning forces, they are indispensable in various industrial applications.

Key Benefits of Trapezoidal Lead Screws

  • High Force Transmission: Ideal for rapid positioning and heavy-duty applications.
  • Exceptional Durability: Designed to withstand wear and ensure a long service life.
  • Versatility: Perfect for holding workpieces, linear adjustments, and other mechanisms.

Elesa+Ganter’s trapezoidal lead screws, conforming to GN 103 standards, stand out due to their superior surface quality and durability. Manufactured using a rolling process, these screws exhibit excellent material compression, ensuring smooth performance.

Elesa+Ganter’s Trapezoidal Lead Screws

  • Materials: Available in case-hardened steel C15 and stainless steel AISI 304.
  • Sizes: Common dimensions range from Tr8x1.5 to Tr50x8, offered in both single- and multi-start versions.
  • Lengths: Stocked lengths include 500 mm and 1000 mm, ready for quick dispatch—even for single-unit orders.

Expert Support and Design Assistance

Elesa+Ganter goes beyond offering parts by providing technical guidance. Their comprehensive instructions cover crucial topics like:

  • Flank pressure and backlash on reversal.
  • Self-locking mechanisms for added safety.
  • Critical buckling forces and rotational speed limits based on screw diameter and unsupported length.

Trapezoidal Lead Nuts: The Perfect Companion

To ensure seamless linear motion, a matching lead nut is essential. Elesa+Ganter offers the GN 103.1 lead nut, crafted from gunmetal for:

  • Excellent gliding properties.
