Applications for single start leadscrews

3D printer Z-axis
Leadscrews raise the print bed or gantry layer by layer with fine, repeatable steps.

Operating mechanisms for switchgear
Worm reductions drive motorised isolators; leadscrews rack draw-out breakers in and out.

Leadscrew-driven machine axes
Trapezoidal leadscrews and nuts move cross slides, tables and tailstocks on lathes and milling machines.

Leadscrew linear actuators
How to choose the leadscrew and nut for a motor-driven linear actuator: lead for speed, self-locking for holding, diameter for length and load, and the right nut for accuracy and wear.

Syringe and infusion pumps
Fine-pitch leadscrews with anti-backlash nuts push the syringe plunger at a precise, steady rate.

Lab automation and analysers
Leadscrew drives position pipettes, sample stages and grippers in analysers and lab automation.
