Overview
Medical Devices & Lab Automation
Syringe and infusion pumps, pipetting robots, sample stages and adjustable beds all convert rotation into slow, precise linear motion, the job leadscrews do best. Anti-backlash nuts keep dosing and positioning accurate. Medical instruments also use knurled grips and adjusters.

Applications in Medical Devices & Lab Automation
Grip knurling on knobs, handles and thumb screws
Straight and diamond knurls give a secure, comfortable grip on control knobs, tool handles, adjusters and hand-tightened screws.
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.
Precision gear trains for actuators and instruments
Small, accurate ground and spur gears for actuators, test rigs and instruments.
