VXO Linear Technologies offers manufactures a wide array of lead screw nut and acme lead screw nut options in materials including POM, Peek, Torlon, Acetal and Nylon, and metal - including bronze, brass, stainless, and alloy steel. We offer anti-backlash nuts, sleeve nuts, bronze nuts, heavy-load nuts, trunnion mounting nuts, and more -- all linear lead screw with multiple styles, sizes, and material options. Or, we can manufacture custom lead screw nuts to meet your specific linear motion application needs.

Lead Screw Nut Features

To meet the need for economical solutions in the field of linear motion control systems, VXO offers two standardized lines of lead screws and nuts in addition to the made-to-order lead screw and nut assembly built to meet individual customer specifications and tolerances.

VXO Anti-Backlash Lead Screw Nuts and Lead Screws

Rolled Acme stainless steel lead screws come in commercial and precision quality.

Depending on the application, acme lead screws are available in lead accuracies from .003 in/ft with straightness of .01 in/ft to .0001 in/in with positional repeatability of .00005 inches.

Lead Screw Nut Material

Lead screw nuts can be made from various materials depending on the application and requirements. Some common lead screw nut materials include:

1. Brass: Brass is a popular choice for lead screw nuts because of its good wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

2. Bronze: Bronze is also a popular choice for lead screw nuts because of its good wear resistance and self-lubricating properties.

3. Plastic: Plastic lead screw nuts are commonly used in low-load applications because of their low cost and self-lubricating properties. The common material like POM, PEEK.

4. Steel: As part of motion control products, steel lead screw nuts are used in high-load applications because of their high strength and durability.

5. Aluminum: Aluminum lead screw nuts are used in applications where weight is a concern, such as in aerospace and automotive industries.

Pom VS Brass Lead Screw Nut

When comparing POM (Polyoxymethylene) and brass lead screw nuts, there are some notable differences in their properties and performance. POM is a thermoplastic material known for its low friction, high stiffness, and excellent wear resistance. On the other hand, brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc, which is commonly used in various applications.

POM Lead Screw Nuts POM has been praised for its superior qualities compared to brass in terms of its suitability for this type of application. It offers better wear resistance and requires less lubrication. POM's low friction properties can lead to increased efficiency and reduced backlash. Some individuals have shared positive experiences after installing POM lead screw nuts, mentioning their efficiency and serviceability.

Brass Lead Screw Nuts While brass is commonly used in various applications, it may not be the ideal material for lead screw nuts due to its tendency to wear quickly, even with proper lubrication. However, it's worth noting that brass lead screw nuts are more widely available compared to other options.

POM lead screw nuts offer several advantages over brass nuts in terms of wear resistance, friction properties, and lubrication requirements. These factors contribute to their efficiency and serviceability. On the other hand, brass nuts may be more readily accessible but might wear out relatively quickly.
