► Vibration-free and quiet operation
► Lead screw machining online without previous CAD knowledge
► Service life of lead screw drives predictable online
► Desired length without waste
► Up to 30% longer service life due to thread asymmetry

Reduce the time required for your design and streamline the procurement process for your lead screw technology.

Minimum axial clearance

Clearance-reduced pre-load lead screw nuts

Preload
The pre-load lead screw nut convinces with minimal axial clearance and highest positioning accuracy. It is the cost-effective alternative to the zero backlash lead screw nuts and perfectly suited for small pitches. This is the proven preload principle from SHT-PL.

Permanently minimal axial clearance for high positioning accuracy
More cost-effective than ZB nut due to fewer components & injection moulding
► Reduced axial clearance due to spring pre-load on the lead screw nut
No lubricating grease or oil in the lead screw drive

Reduce the time required for your design and optimise the procurement process for your lead screw technology.
