Description
Lead screws convert rotatory motion (turning ) into linear motion.
It offers good axial stiffness and excellent, smooth small displacements.
Lead screws are generally preloaded with an axial load that helps to maintain a permanent contact between the nut and screw filets.
Applications
Lead screw are commonly used in low power applications like
Linear actuator
positioner mechanisms
Machine slides
Machine tools
Vises
Presses
Jacks
Electric linear actuators
