More options in linear motion

An Abssac product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jan 8, 2008

Abssac reckons it has one of the largest linear product ranges on the market.

Whether it is a simple lead screw, acme thread, ballscrew or a complicated satellite roller screw, Abssac has one of the largest linear product ranges on the market.

And the range can be combined with a fast turnaround machine shop that can supply end journals that are ready to fit directly into any application.

Employing a traditional hands-on approach to business, Abssac has long been associated with linear technology, and in 2008 is expanding its range further by adding more diameters and lead per product.

Abssac offers a vast range of lead screw sizes range from a miniature 4mm diameter up to 200mm with a wide range of both metric and imperial leads per diameter.

The company can supply cold rolled, whirled, machined or ground style lead screw formats in stainless steel, low carbon steel and exotic materials if required.

The company can also supply multi-start, high helix for high linear traversing speeds or ultra fine Vee thread format screws for positional accuracy.

All antibacklash nut designs compliment the complete range of lead screws and in some cases can be tapped to run on ball screw threads.

Primarily Abssac uses Delrin as the base material for the plastic nuts.

Delrin is an acetal resin engineering plastic and is often used as a metal substitute.

Delrin is lightweight, has a low coefficient of friction, is extremely wear-resistant and capable of operating in temperatures in excess of 90C.

Other plastic materials used include: polyoxymethylene (POM), acetal resin, polytrioxane and polyformaldehyde.

Bronze nuts are normally machined from SAE660 bronze but also employed aluminium bronze hybrids for certain applications.
