Product overview
Linear units
We supply lead screws with very high precision, offering backlash-free options that achieve up to 1.25 micron repeatable accuracy in both directions.
Selecting the Right Lead Screw
For optimal linear motion, we consider variables like force, travel distance, and speed when choosing a lead screw’s diameter, lead, and pitch. Kerk lead screws are manufactured using a precision rolling process, offering standard lead accuracy of .0006 mm/mm and optional accuracies up to .0001 mm/mm. Whether you need cut-to-length or custom-machined ends, matching these parameters to your load requirements ensures efficient, reliable performance.

Our Industry Family
Our Linear units
Our lead screws are self-adjusting, eliminating the need for lubrication or frequent maintenance. Their low-friction design contributes to smooth, quiet motion and extended service life. These assemblies can handle thrusts up to 500 lbs (2224 N) in various environments. By selecting the correct screw configuration—diameter, lead, and nut style—you can achieve high repeatability, long-lasting durability, and consistent accuracy for demanding applications across multiple industries.
Haydon Kerk assemblies deliver maximum accuracy, high reliability, smooth operation, and low cost. Proprietary coatings and guidance on noise, vibration, and motion design address demanding requirements for high-performance linear motion.
