Trapezoidal lead screw threads

Rolled trapezoidal lead screw
In the thread rolling process, the surface is strengthened and smoothed, and the natural grain-ow of the material is not interrupted. Rolled trapezoidal screws are therefore particularly resistant to notching, corrosion and wear. Maryland Metrics trapezoidal screw drives are available in two variants: Rolled trapezoidal screws RTS Rolled precision trapezoidal screws RPTS Our rolled trapezoidal screws are offered: With gunmetal nuts for low- and medium-speed drives With bronze nuts for motion drives With plastic nuts for high-speed drives Product Groupings

Installation, maintenance and operation

Installation and maintenance of trapezoidal thread drives
Installation: Trapezoidal thread drives must be aligned carefully during installation if suitable measuring equipment is not available, the thread drive should be turned through its entire length by hand before the drive unit is attached. Variations in the amount of force required and/or marks on the external diameter of the spindle indicate alignment errors between the spindle axis and guide. In this case, the relevant mounting bolts should rst be loosened and the thread drive should be turned through by hand. If the amount of force required is not constant throughout, the appropriate components should be aligned, otherwise the alignment error should be localized by loosening further mounting bolts. Cover: By virtue of their design, trapezoidal thread drives are less sensitive to dirt than ball screw drives, particularly at low speeds (manual operation). Motor driven units, especially with plastic nuts, nonetheless require protection against dirt in the same way as noted for ball thread drives. Oil lubrication: Used only in special cases for trapezoidal thread drives. Grease lubrication: Grease is the usual lubrication method for trapezoidal thread drives. Lubrication intervals are governed by operating conditions; it is advisable to clean the spindle before greasing. We do not recommend Molykote grease with graphite additives. Operating temperature: This depends on the type of nut used, the lubrication conditions and the users requirements. Please consult us in the case of temperatures above 100C (plastic nuts 70C). Wear: This can be checked manually: if the axial backlash with a single-start screw drive is more than 1/4 of the pitch, the nut should be replaced immediately.

Standard screw ends

for TGT trapezoidal screw drives
Different bearings are used to support screw drives, depending on the application. The type of bearing inuences the stiffness of the entire screw drive, as well as the critical speed and buckling resistance of the screw. To suit these different types of bearings, Maryland Metrics supplies screws with different end designs.

Single-face screw jacks These screw jack units are designed to operate in a range of applications, in nearly any environment. Our precisionengineered screw jacks are available in either upright or inverted congurations, with plain or keyed screws. All units can be tted with an anti-backlash feature. GT, KOKON precision screw drives GT, KOKON screw drives are available in a wide variety of precision lead and ball screw and nut assemblies. Our rolled screws are extremely resistant to notching, corrosion, and wear. The special MICRON Line of ball screws and nut assemblies provides high accuracy to 23m/300mm. Also, screw ends can be machined to customer specications. Our completely sealed KOKON series is designed to work in the dirtiest of environments.

SPIRACON planetary roller screws Spiracon roller screws convert rotary motion to linear movement with low noise, high efficiency, and high positional accuracy, all in a system designed for a high dynamic load capacity, long lifespan, and low maintenance. ROLARAM electro-mechanical actuator Rolaram actuators are an attractive alternative to hydraulic cylinders, matching their load capacity and exceeding the load capacity of conventional electro mechanical actuators. Easy installation and synchronization of multiple units, low power consumption and noise, and a simplied control system are added benets. Standard spiral bevel gearboxes and accessories For transmitting power through an angle of 90, our compact right-angle gearboxes provide power transmission without slippage. Can be driven with electric, hydraulic, reciprocating, or pneumatic motors. Perfect for systems requiring high precision, accuracy, efficiency, speed, and load carrying capacity. Custom designed electro-mechanical actuators

WIESEL mechanical linear drive units For accurate positioning or highly dynamic movement, the patented features of Maryland Metrics WIESEL units provide superior performance. All WIESEL units can be combined with complete servo-drive packages. Preassembled, precongured, and ready to plug in.

Our custom designed electro-mechanical actuators have a long list of available options. Choose from low-voltage DC or high-voltage AC input, low capacity to 1000kg, and linear speeds up to 50m/minute.
