Trapezoidal screw 16x4 left-hand C45 cut length 1m

Product Description

Trapezoidal screw 16x4 left-hand C45 cut length 1m

A 1000 mm cut length is the standard length of working drive spindles - a ready part without cutting to size. Made of carbon steel C45 (1.0503), compliant with DIN 103 / ISO 2901-2904, left-hand thread Tr 16x4.

Works with a trapezoidal nut with the same thread (size, pitch and hand must be identical). Used in: lifting jacks, presses and vices working under higher loads - the higher surface hardness of C45 steel (approx. 250 HB, compared with approx. 160-180 HB for C15E) copes better with friction and working pressure.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

Which nut fits this cut length?

A trapezoidal nut Tr 16x4 with the same thread hand (left-hand) - size and pitch must be identical, otherwise the mechanism will jam.

Can I order a length other than 1000 mm?

Yes, the screw Tr 16x4 is also available by the metre for individual cutting - this product is a ready, fixed cut length of 1000 mm.

What is the difference between a KUE screw (C45) and a KEQ screw (C15)?

Both are made of precision-rolled carbon steel, but KUE (steel C45) has a higher surface hardness (approx. 250 HB) than KEQ (steel C15E, approx. 160-180 HB) - it copes better with higher loads and friction at the same accuracy class.

Is there backlash in a trapezoidal screw drive?

Yes - a standard trapezoidal nut has some backlash resulting from the manufacturing tolerance of the thread. If the mechanism requires zero backlash (e.g. for precise positioning in CNC machine tools), it is worth using a backlash-reducing (anti-backlash) nut that works with this screw.
