RS PRO Lead Screw, 16mm Shaft Diam. , 1000mm Shaft Length

When you need to convert a rotating movement into a consistent and smooth linear motion, choose this RS PRO lead screw. It has a continually shafted thread that provides precise and even movement in devices such as jacks, presses or industrial vises.

Thanks to the screw's rolled steel finish, it's extremely hard and won't break or crack under heavy loads. The ultra-smooth surface minimises friction to reduce wear and lengthen the screw's service life. It also has a self-locking mechanism to ensure it attaches firmly to a nut, lowering the risk of equipment break-downs due to loose screws. You'll find this screw used in automated lathes and milling equipment. It's also a good choice for use in electrical linear systems that process and amplify electronic signals.
