Standard freewheeling lead screw nuts from Helix Linear Technologies are available in both threaded and flanged configurations and are designed to fit lead screws and Acme screws ranging from 2 mm - 25 mm in diameter.
The high strength and inherent lubricity of our Helital™ nut material results in a product life that exceeds conventional material selections.
It can be very easy to machine the different plastics that lead screw nuts are manufactured for, compared to ball screws and ball nuts. In order to stop this from happening, try to include as many parts attached to the nut in its design as possible. Typically, nuts are assembled out of bar stock, plastic sheets, or blocks.
Standard freewheeling lead screw nuts from Helix mark a mile stone in the evolution of lead screws. If standard nut configurations don't get the job done, we manufacture custom freewheeling nuts based on your shape, size, and material requirements. So rather you need a standard nut for a smaller application or a larger one, there is a nut that will provide the most precise linear motion possible for your project. We also have a great collection of lead screw engineering tools available for you to calculate the screw performance.
