Trapezoidal Screw

Trapezoidal screws are used in industrial equipment to convert rotary motion into linear motion.

A screw is a metal rod with trapezoidal thread along its entire length. The part works in pairs with a nut of the corresponding trapezoidal shape. Rotation of the screw drives the nut’s movement, setting the transmission in motion.

Applications

Trapezoidal screws are used in lathes, milling machines, boring machines and other machine tools. Rotary motion is converted into linear motion, driving the working mechanism.

In a machine tool, the part is fixed to the bed using bearing supports. The screw’s rotation is driven by an electric drive, causing the nut to move at a set calculated speed. The nut is coupled to the carriage or saddle.

Features

Screws are made from corrosion-resistant materials and designed for long-term operation. The nut’s travel speed depends on the thread pitch and the screw’s rotation speed — these parameters are selected according to the requirements of the working process.
