Flanged Ball Nuts

Flanged Ball Nuts are an essential component of ball screw assemblies. They are precision mechanical components used in linear motion systems. These nuts, as the name implies, include a flange, which is a flat, projecting rim that extends from the nut and offers additional support and ease of installation.

It's used in conjunction with ball screws to convert rotary motion to linear motion. Ball bearings in the nut roll along the ball screw as it turns, giving smooth and precise linear motion. The flange features a tight tolerance, ensuring minimum backlash and high precision and accuracy.

These are widely utilised in a variety of industrial applications, including in automotive, aerospace, and medical equipment. Please keep in mind that removing the ball nut from the sleeve provided can cause the ball bearings to come loose, rendering the ball nut useless.

  • It is intended for manual or motorised applications at low rotational speeds under load.
  • Extremely durable and have an element of self lubrication.
  • Utilised in a variety of industrial applications, including in automotive, aerospace, and medical equipment.

Linear Guide Rails

These Linear Guide rails are a linear motion-bearing system used to guide and support moving components in a linear direction. Linear guide rails are made up of two major components: a rail and a carriage. The rail is a long, straight beam attached to a permanent surface. The carriage is a moving block that goes along the rail. The carriage comprises bearings that make contact with the rail and offer low-friction linear motion.

These rails are used in applications requiring high accuracy, low friction and smooth movements. It can sustain dynamic loads while accounting for impact, vibration, and fatigue.

In general, the carriages will be delivered to the tracks individually. To put the carriage onto the tracks, bring it up to the rails and slide it onto the rail. It is widely utilised in high-load and accurate applications throughout the industry, including medical devices, semiconductor production equipment, and industrial automation equipment.

  • Used to guide and support moving components in a linear direction.
  • Made up of two components a rail and a carriage.
  • It can sustain dynamic loads while accounting for impact, vibration, and fatigue.

Square Nuts

In this range used with lead screws, you will find a wide range of Square Nuts depending on your needs: Square Bronze Nuts with fixing holes, Square Brass Nuts, Square Steel Nuts and Square Steel Nuts with Fixing holes.

  • Square Bronze Nuts with through holes are used when a secure and robust connection is needed. It provides stability and strength, making it suited for medium-duty applications. It has through holes suitable for cap head screws.
  • Square Brass Nut is used in applications where fairly light loads are required. It is sturdy and resistant to corrosion, moisture, and other factors.
  • Square Steel Nuts are utilised in applications that need slow rotational speeds, manual control, clamping or locking actions.
  • Square Steel Nuts with Holes are used for applications with low rotational speeds, manual control, and locking functions. It has through holes suitable for cap head screws.

These are widely utilised in a variety of industrial applications, including in automotive, aerospace, and medical equipment. Available as standard right-hand thread square nuts as well as left-hand threaded.

Please note: Steel to steel contact surfaces are inappropriate for motorised motion.In this range you will find: Square Bronze Nuts with fixing holes, Square Brass Nuts, Square Steel Nuts and Square Steel Nuts with Fixing holes.
  • Utilised in a variety of industrial applications, including in automotive, aerospace, and medical equipment.
  • Available as standard right-hand thread square nuts as well as left-hand threaded.

Unflanged Carriages - Low

These low-profile unflanged carriages are linear bearings used for heavy-duty and precise linear motion applications. They give precision, stability, and dependability. The four row contact with the mating rail offers the same load capacity capabilities regardless of the load pressing into the carriage or hanging from it.

The unflanged design provides a more compact solution but can only be mounted to from the top. The carriages' ball retainers allow for a quieter operation whilst improving lubrication of the system. It also ensures the balls remain in place should the carriage be removed from the rail in error.

Its low profile provides an even smaller compact solution when compared again the standard unflanged linear carriages. It is used in many applications, including special purpose equipment, automation, material handling systems, medical devices, etc.

  • It gives precision, stability, and dependability.
  • Unflanged design provides a more compact solution when compared against the flanged carriages.
  • Its low profile provides an even smaller compact solution when compared to standard unflanged linear carriages.

The carriages are supplied on dummy blocks which must be offered up to the edge of the rail the carriage is going onto during installation. Slide the carriage from the dummy block onto the rail to ensure no damage can occur. It is used in many applications, including special purpose equipment, automation, material handling systems, medical devices, etc.
