Discover the versatility of trapezoidal threaded spindles:
A common and effective way to move things back and forth is to use trapezoidal threaded spindles. They work well when you need to change spinning motion into straight motion. They are mostly used in situations where you need low speed and high weight. They are strong and precise at the same time.
What is a trapezoidal spindle?
A trapezoidal spindle is a type of thread spindle that has a trapezoidal profile. It is used to convert rotary motion into linear motion, or vice versa, by means of a nut that moves along the spindle. Trapezoidal spindles are self-locking, which means they do not need to be secured in the rest position. They are suitable for manual and motorized applications that require high friction and low speed.
Why choose a trapezoidal spindle?
Trapezoidal threaded spindles have many advantages. The trapezoidal shape of the threads makes them strong and durable, able to handle heavy loads. You can use them for any field that needs strong motion control, such as industrial automation or mechanical engineering. The threads are also smooth and efficient, thanks to the cold-forming process that makes them hard and low-friction. This helps your machinery run better and last longer, saving you money on maintenance and replacement. Moreover, trapezoidal threaded spindles are customizable to your needs. At BJ-Gear, we offer different diameters, from 10 mm to 140 mm, so you can find the right spindle for your application.
