Technical Support for Current and Legacy Motion Systems
Older machines and specialized equipment may rely on lead screws that are no longer readily available from the original manufacturer. NNG evaluates the condition of the screw and nut, available technical information and replacement options so customers can make a more informed decision about repair, remanufacturing or replacement.
Keep the machine moving when the original component is hard to find. Repair and replacement options based on the actual assembly.

LEAD SCREW SERVICE QUESTIONS
What Customers Need to Know
Answers to common questions about Acme lead screw repair, nut service, replacement and what to send with a request.
What information should I provide?
Send the machine manufacturer and model, screw dimensions, thread form, pitch, travel length, nut details, photos, drawings and a description of the operating problem.
Can NNG repair an obsolete Acme lead screw?
Support may be possible when the screw can be measured, inspected or matched to existing drawings and replacement requirements.
Can the nut be repaired without replacing the screw?
That depends on the condition of the screw threads, nut, fit and operating requirements. Both components should be evaluated before a service recommendation is made.
Can NNG produce a replacement screw and nut?
Replacement support may be available based on dimensions, drawings, material requirements, thread specifications and application needs.
What causes lead screw and nut wear?
Common causes may include contamination, inadequate lubrication, misalignment, excessive loading, normal wear and damage to the thread surfaces.
How long does service take?
Timing depends on the size, condition, measurements required, machining scope, replacement-part availability and approval timing.
