A trapezoidal screw is a power screw with a trapezoidal-shaped thread profile,characterized by a 30° flank angle.Unlike ball screws(which use rolling elements),they rely on sliding contact between the screw and nut.

Trapezoidal Leadscrew Information

When To Choose Trapezoidal Screws?

High Load Capacity: Their robust thread design handles heavy static or dynamic loads effectively.

Low to Moderate Speed Applications:Trapezoidal screw rod generate more friction than ball screws,making them unsuitable for high-speed or high-efficiency systems.

Harsh Environments:This trapezoidal thread screw perform better in dirty,dusty,or high-vibration settings where ball screws(with delicate rolling elements)might fail.

Budget Constraints:Trapezoidal screws are cheaper to manufacture and maintain than ball screws.Choose them if:Your project has tight cost limits.Long-term maintenance costs need to be minimized.

Low Accuracy requirement:Trapezoidal screws have more inherent backlash.The screw is suitable for applications where ±0.1 mm precision is acceptable.Use anti-backlash nuts if higher precision is needed.

Self-Locking Requirement:The friction between the leadscrew and nut prevents back-driving,making them ideal for:Vertical applications where gravity could cause unintended movement.Safety-critical systems needing position retention without power.
