Ball, Acme, & Lead Screws
Screws
Regal Rexnord Aerospace Solutions offers an extensive selection of ball and lead screws for your aerospace applications through our Nook/Thomson brand. Nook/Thomson screws proven designs and tightly controlled manufacturing processes ensure product quality, safety, reliability, and performance.
They are perfect for aircraft sub-system components because they can operate on any power source. Additionally, they eliminate the need for extra hardware like pumps, hoses, filters, and piping.
Ball screws offer a highly efficient means of converting rotary motion to linear motion. Precision ball screws have several bearing balls that transfer the load between the nut and screw. This design improves speed, force, and duty cycle, while allowing for higher efficiency (friction) and greater accuracy.
Acme screws provide accurate positioning and smooth, quiet operation for precision applications. Nook/Thomson manufactures acme screws by thread rolling, thread milling, or thread grinding processes. Each process produces high precision screws with centralized thread forms for smooth, no-wedging performance.
