Trapezoidal nut 14x4 left-hand cylindrical, steel

Product Description

Trapezoidal nut 14x4 left-hand cylindrical, steel

A well-chosen trapezoidal nut limits backlash in the mechanism and extends the service life of the entire screw-and-nut system. Made of Steel 11SMnPb37 (1.0737), left-hand thread Tr 14x4, in accordance with DIN 103 / ISO 2901-2904.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

Which trapezoidal screw fits this nut?

Trapezoidal screw Tr 14x4, left-hand - size, pitch and thread hand must be identical to the nut, otherwise the mechanism will jam.

How can you tell that a trapezoidal nut is worn?

The most common sign is increasing backlash between the screw and the nut - noticeable jerking when the direction of motion changes. This means the nut thread has worn and needs to be replaced.

How do the material families of trapezoidal nuts differ?

Steel is chosen for fastening joints without sliding motion, bronze for drives with continuous sliding motion (low friction), and brass for lighter applications where moisture resistance matters at a lower cost than bronze.

Does a standard trapezoidal nut have backlash in the thread?

Yes, some backlash results from the manufacturing tolerance of the thread - this is normal. If you need zero backlash (e.g. for precise positioning), anti-backlash nuts are used, which are a different product from a standard nut.

What are the properties of this nut's material?

Material: Steel 11SMnPb37 (1.0737) - the hardness and rigidity of the material cope well with static loads in self-locking joints.

How is this nut mounted in the mechanism?

The smooth, round outline allows the nut to be seated in a recessed socket, without protruding edges.

Where are 14x4 trapezoidal nuts used?

14x4 trapezoidal nuts are used in screw jacks, presses, vices, positioning tables, linear axes of CNC machines and tensioning mechanisms - wherever the rotary motion of a screw must be converted into precise, repeatable linear motion.
