Pin Configuration

  • Component Overview
  • The T8 Stainless Steel Threaded Rod Guide Lead Screw (200mm) is a high-precision lead screw assembly designed for linear motion applications, particularly in industrial automation, robotics, and CNC machines. This lead screw guide features a stainless steel threaded rod with a T8 thread profile, a copper alloy guide nut, and a compact, robust design.
  • Pins Explanation and Connection Guide
  • The T8 Stainless Steel Threaded Rod Guide Lead Screw has 4 pins, labeled A, B, C, and D. Each pin serves a specific purpose in the lead screw assembly, and proper connection is crucial for optimal performance.
  • Pin A: Motor Shaft Connection
  • Function: Connects to the motor shaft, transmitting rotational motion to the lead screw.
  • Type: Male thread, compatible with motor shafts featuring a matching thread profile.
  • Connection:
  • 1. Align the motor shaft with Pin A, ensuring proper thread engagement.
  • 2. Secure the connection using a suitable fastening method (e.g., set screws, adhesive, or nuts).
  • Pin B: Encoder or Sensor Connection
  • Function: Provides a connection point for encoders, sensors, or other devices that monitor the lead screw's linear motion.
  • Type: Female receptacle, accepting a 2-pin or 3-pin connector (dependent on the specific encoder or sensor).
  • Connection:
  • 1. Connect the encoder or sensor cable to Pin B, ensuring correct pin alignment.
  • 2. Secure the connection using a suitable fastening method (e.g., screws, clips, or adhesive).
  • Pin C: Power and Ground
  • Function: Supplies power to the motor and provides a ground connection.
  • Type: 2-pin male connector, with one pin designated for power (+) and the other for ground (-).
  • Connection:
  • 1. Connect the power and ground wires from the motor driver or power supply to Pin C.
  • 2. Ensure correct polarity (power to power, ground to ground) to avoid damage or malfunctions.
  • Pin D: Limit Switch or Endstop Connection
  • Function: Enables connection to a limit switch or endstop, which detects the lead screw's home position or travel limits.
  • Type: 2-pin or 3-pin female receptacle, dependent on the specific limit switch or endstop configuration.
  • Connection:
  • 1. Connect the limit switch or endstop cable to Pin D, ensuring correct pin alignment.
  • 2. Secure the connection using a suitable fastening method (e.g., screws, clips, or adhesive).
  • Additional Connection Considerations
  • Ensure all connections are secure and properly fastened to prevent damage or disconnection during operation.
  • Use suitable cable management techniques (e.g., cable ties, conduit, or strain reliefs) to minimize cable stress and prevent mechanical interference.
  • Verify the lead screw assembly is properly aligned and seated before connecting pins to the motor, encoder, sensor, or other components.
  • By following this pin-by-pin connection guide, you can correctly integrate the T8 Stainless Steel Threaded Rod Guide Lead Screw (200mm) into your linear motion application, ensuring reliable performance and precise movement.
