The OpenBuilds 8mm Metric Lead Screw is a precision-engineered component designed to convert rotational motion into linear movement efficiently. With a 2mm pitch and four-start thread, each full rotation advances the attached nut by 8mm, ensuring rapid and precise positioning. Its 8mm diameter minimizes deflection, maintaining stability even at higher speeds. This lead screw is compatible with OpenBuilds Nut Blocks and Anti-Backlash Nut Blocks, making it suitable for CNC machines, 3D printers, and other automation projects requiring accurate linear motion. 

Features:

• Reduced Whipping – The substantial 8mm diameter minimizes whipping, ensuring stability even at higher speeds.
• Efficient Translation – With a 2mm pitch and four-start thread, each rotation results in an 8mm linear movement for swift and precise positioning.
• Seamless Integration – Optimized for compatibility with OpenBuilds Nut Blocks and Anti-Backlash Nut Blocks, ensuring smooth and accurate motion in your builds.
