#1 Right-Hand ThreadsThese threads are inclined towards the right-hand side. These are tightened in a clockwise movement. These are known as right-hand threads.
#2 Left-Hand ThreadsThese threads are inclined towards the left hand. These are tightened in anticlockwise movement. For example, on a screw with left-hand threads, threads are so cut that the bolt, screw, or nut has to be turned in a counter-clockwise motion to engage or tighten it. Their use is comparatively less.
Our product range includes not only lead screws with right-hand or left-hand threads, but also reverse lead screws. They offer more flexibility and design freedom for your application. If you would like to learn more about reverse lead screws, you can find out more here.
