Cold Extrusion
Cutting
Grinding
Quality Inspection
Elimold’s quality management team conducts microscopic inspections of surface finish at every stage of the manufacturing and coating process. We have two dedicated testing labs to determine the high-performance characteristics of our products. One lab is dedicated to testing load and lifespan, and has tested components that have driven over 2,500 miles without failure; the other is equipped with soundproofing facilities for analyzing noise levels. Furthermore, we can inspect the entire length of the screw (up to 20,000 points within 72 inches, while competitors inspect only one point every 6 inches for the same length). Lead accuracy is 0.003 inches/foot (76 microns/300 millimeters), three times better than the industry standard.
High Precision Lead Screws Material
In Elimold lead screw supplier, High precision lead screws can be made from a variety of materials, depending on the application and required properties. The choice of material will depend on factors such as the load capacity, speed, accuracy, and environmental conditions of the application.Some common materials used for lead screws include:
Stainless steel
This material is commonly used for High precision lead screws because it is corrosion-resistant and has good strength and durability. SS303(1.4305), SS304(1.4301), SS316, SS316L, SS440C, SUS631
Carbon steel
This material is less expensive than stainless steel and is often used for applications that do not require high corrosion resistance. Q235, C45, 40Cr, A3, S55C, 42CrMnTi, C45Pb
Bronze
This material is used for High precision lead screws that require high wear resistance and low friction.
Aluminum
This material is lightweight and has good corrosion resistance, but is not as strong as other materials and is typically used for low-load applications.
Plastics
Various plastics, such as acetal, nylon, and PEEK, can be used for high precision lead screws in applications that require low friction and high wear resistance.
Temperature-Controlled Internal Coating
This independently developed, customized coating process and equipment improves surface finish and eliminates screw coating peeling. The coating reduces the coefficient of friction, improves screw efficiency, and extends service life. Each screw is inspected using a digital microscope to ensure the coating surface is free of peeling or pitting.
Available Surface Coating
- Zinc-plated
- Nickel Plated
- Hard Chromium Plated
- Fluorine Coated
- Tungsten Disulfide
- Black Chorme Plated
- Teflon Coating
- Passivation
- Electropolishing

FAQ
A lead screw is a mechanical device that converts rotary motion into linear motion. It consists of a threaded shaft (screw) and a nut that slides along the thread; the movement of the nut produces linear motion.
Elimold offers reverse engineering services and can manufacture replacement lead screw products based on parts provided by customers. If your original part does not perform well in your application, we can design a replacement part for you according to your design specifications. You will find that we are very flexible in meeting your needs.
Yes, we offer prototyping services to help you evaluate the design and fit of your custom lead screw before full-scale production. This allows you to test the component in real-world applications and make necessary adjustments.
Yes, we offer custom thread specifications, including trapezoidal threads, ACME threads, and other special threads. We can also provide various coatings, such as Teflon coatings, blackening coatings, or chrome coatings, to enhance corrosion and wear resistance.
In some very specific and special applications and needs, Elimold can use chrome plating to repair materials that require regrinding. However, in most cases, if the screw is damaged to this extent, it is usually more cost-effective to regrind it into larger balls or manufacture a new screw shaft assembly.
Elimold can provide emergency manufacturing services for its customers (at an additional cost). This means that we typically complete the manufacturing within 12 to 24 hours or less, depending on your required timeframe. We have even completed ball screw manufacturing on the same day. The best way to initiate this service is to contact us directly.
The lead time depends on the complexity and quantity of the order. However, our typical lead time for custom screws is 2 to 6 weeks. Once we understand your specific requirements, we will provide a more accurate delivery time.
To place an order, please contact our sales team and provide your specifications, including dimensions, material, thread type, and other relevant details. We will work with you to complete the design and provide a quote.
