Thomson’s high-precision miniature lead screws

By Bhalchandra Chorghade, Editor, CNCTimes.com

Thomson Industries Inc., a leading manufacturer of linear motion control solutions, has introduced a line of miniature lead screws and nuts. This new offering extends the Thomson lead screw product line to include 2-, 3- and 4-millimeter diameters.

The new Thomson miniature lead screw line is available with either standard or anti-backlash lead nuts to optimize positional accuracy, friction and repeatability. The anti-backlash lead nut design reduces friction between the nut and screw threads to optimize efficiency while still eliminating play between the lead screw and nut.

Customers can specify a variety of lead options and end machining capabilities for maximum flexibility in final assembly and precision at a miniature scale. As with all Thomson products, a wide variety of customization options are available. For ease of mounting and integration, Thomson also offers oversized end machining options such as journals and even a brand new, integrated coupler design, which allows customers to easily mount the lead screw onto various shaft diameters without the need of an additional coupling component.

The smaller screws are ideal for a wide range of applications but are especially valuable in emerging medical technologies and analytical equipment.
