For vertical applications, leadscrews self-lock and prevent back driving, unlike traditional ballscrews.

Features & benefits

  • Nonball leadscrews use a sliding motion between nut and screw to convert rotary input to linear motion; Kerkote and Black Ice dry lubrication coatings eliminate need for external lubrication and maintenance

  • 303 stainless steel; leadscrews come in standard diameters from 1/8 to 15/16 in. with standard leads from 0.02 to 3 in.

  • Customized nuts can be molded using KerKite composite polymers or customer-specified materials
