Precision Overmolded Lead Screws & Self-Lubricating Drive Nuts

Wear-resistant, self-lubricating engineering plastics (modified POM, PTFE-blends, PPS, and PA66) molded directly onto stainless steel lead screws, motor rotor shafts, or brass guide cores. Engineered for zero axial backlash, ultra-quiet linear actuation, and high pull-out torque in medical devices, smart home actuators, and optical equipment.

✓ Coaxiality & Runout ≤ 0.02mm

✓ Zero AxialLoosening or Slippage

✓ Self-Lubricating Quiet Operation

WHY MOTION ENGINEERS CHOOSE RUNHENG OVERMOLDED SCREWS

High Torsional Retention, Micron Coaxiality & Smooth Linear Travel

01. High Pull-Out & Torsional Locking

Polymer melt penetrates deeply into knurled, grooved, or cross-holed stainless steel shaft retention zones—guaranteeing zero axial slippage or rotational loosening under cyclic thrust loads.

02. ≤ 0.02mm Shaft-to-Plastic Coaxiality

Precision V-block and collet mold fixtures hold long metal lead screws concentrically during vertical injection, preventing shaft bending or eccentric wobble.

03. Self-Lubricating Anti-Backlash Resins

PTFE/silicone-modified POM (Acetal) and PPS formulations deliver low friction coefficients, silent operation, and long wear life without external grease contamination.

04. Zero Flash on Precision Screw Threads

Sodick Mirror EDM thread-sealing shutoffs prevent plastic flash from leaking onto functional stainless steel lead-screw threads.

HOW WE GUARANTEE CONSISTENCY

How We Control Shaft Runout & Torsional Strength

01. Ultrasonic Degreasing & Insert Pre-Heating

Metal screws are ultrasonically cleaned to remove machining oils and pre-heated to maximize polymer grip.

02. Balanced Collet Clamping Injection

Custom mold collets support the metal shaft along its axis so high injection pressure never deflects thin screws.

03. 100% Runout, Pitch & Torque QC

Verified on optical comparators, dial-indicator runout fixtures, and axial push-out force testers.
