Helix Linear Announces its New Torsional Anti-backlash Nut

Helix Linear Technologies, the leaders in precision lead screw manufacturing, announced that they are expanding their lead screw nut offering by developing offering a torsional anti-backlash nut design.  The Torsional Anti-Backlash (TAB) nut design offers high axial stiffness and extremely low drag torque. 

Made from Helix® proprietary self-lubricating polyacetal with Teflon® micro powder, this nut is available in a full range of lead screw sizes from ¼” (6mm) to ¾” (20mm) diameters. This nut offers reduced components and ease of assembly.

Custom mounting configurations are also available. The design has a shortened nut length to reduce the OAL or increase stroke length for a given lead screw. Modifications can be made as required and this low torque/high axial stiffness design includes a unique machined version for applications that require a smaller nut size due to space limitations.
