Component Description

330mm Trapezoidal 4 Start Lead Screw 8mm Thread 2mm Pitch Lead Screw with Copper Nut

Overview

The 330mm Trapezoidal 4 Start Lead Screw 8mm Thread 2mm Pitch Lead Screw with Copper Nut is a type of linear actuator component commonly used in various IoT applications, such as robotics, automation, and precision machinery. This component consists of a lead screw, a copper nut, and a trapezoidal thread design, which enables efficient and precise linear motion.

Functionality

The primary function of this component is to convert rotary motion into linear motion. The lead screw is designed to rotate, which causes the copper nut to move linearly along the screw's length. This mechanism enables the component to provide precise control over linear movement, making it an essential element in various IoT systems.

Key Features

  • Trapezoidal Thread Design: The lead screw features a trapezoidal thread design, which provides a larger contact area between the screw and the nut, resulting in higher efficiency and reduced friction.
  • 4 Start Thread: The 4 start thread design enables faster linear motion compared to single-start threads, making it suitable for applications requiring rapid movement.
  • 8mm Thread Diameter: The lead screw has a thread diameter of 8mm, which provides a robust and stable connection with the copper nut.
  • 2mm Pitch: The lead screw has a pitch of 2mm, which determines the distance between each thread. A smaller pitch results in finer linear movement and higher precision.
  • Copper Nut: The copper nut is designed to provide smooth and efficient linear motion. Copper's high thermal conductivity and low friction coefficient make it an ideal material for this application.
  • 330mm Length: The lead screw has a length of 330mm, providing ample travel distance for various IoT applications.
