Trapezoidal Nuts with Rectangular Flange for CNC and 3D Printers for CNC, 3D printer

A trapezoidal nut with a flange works in conjunction with a trapezoidal screw. In mechanical assemblies where rotational motion is converted into linear motion, components with trapezoidal threads are widely used due to their wear resistance and ability to withstand significant loads. Trapezoidal threads have the highest load capacity of all thread types.

The trapezoidal nut with a rectangular flange is an integral part of a mechanism that includes the trapezoidal screw. This mechanism is applied in various fields, such as:

• Machinery and Metalworking: In assembly lines, drives for metal-cutting machines, screw presses, and lifting jacks.
• Light Industry: In servodrives for weaving machines for 3D structure fabrics, screw presses, and lifting jacks.
• Agriculture: In small presses for extracting fruit and vegetable juices and oils from oilseeds.
• 3D Printer Manufacturing: As a lifting mechanism that requires highly accurate positioning along the Z-axis.
• Woodworking Industry: In drives for woodworking machines, transporting screw mechanisms, and lifting jacks or screw presses with lower precision requirements for movement and positioning.

The undeniable advantages of trapezoidal components—wear resistance, strength, and affordability—make them accessible for home use!

Characteristics

Bronze trapezoidal nuts with a rectangular flange exhibit a relatively low coefficient of friction when sliding along the trapezoidal threaded spindle. Additionally, using bronze nuts reduces the likelihood of the nut jamming on the lead screw. They are firmly fixed to the working unit's surface at a 90° angle and remain stationary.

One drawback of using bronze nuts with trapezoidal threads is their faster wear rate. Replacement can be done independently, allowing a new nut to be screwed onto an old screw at any time without needing to replace the screw itself. The new nut can be made from any other material that is most suitable for the equipment in use. However, it is recommended to use trapezoidal nuts with brass flanges, as this material is durable, cost-effective, and will not damage the trapezoidal screw in the event of a nut jam.
