MACHINERY LEADS SCREW

A lead screwalso known as a power screw or translation screwis a mechanical device used to convert rotational motion into linear motion. Its a key component in many types of machinery, especially where precise, controlled movement is needed.

Key Features:

• Structure: A threaded shaft (the screw) and a matching nut. As the screw rotates, the nut moves along its length.

• Lead: The distance the nut travels with one full rotation of the screw.

• Pitch: The distance between adjacent threadsaffects speed and resolution of movement.

Common Applications:

• Machine tools (like lathes and milling machines)

• Linear actuators

• 3D printers

• Medical devices
