SS205 Full ACME Threaded Rod refers to a threaded rod made from Stainless Steel 205 (SS205) with a full ACME thread profile. ACME threads are characterized by their trapezoidal shape, a 29-degree thread angle, and larger, stronger threads compared to standard V-threads. The “full” aspect indicates that the threading extends along the entire length of the rod. SS205 is a variant of stainless steel, known for its specific properties that contribute to the rod’s performance.

Definition

An SS205 Full ACME Threaded Rod is a continuous rod made from Stainless Steel 205 (SS205) that features a full-length ACME thread profile. The ACME thread is a robust, square-like thread with a 29-degree angle, designed for transmitting power and motion, and for situations requiring high strength and precision. The use of SS205 material, a specific alloy of stainless steel, provides particular characteristics contributing to the rod’s durability and suitability for various applications.

Advantages

• High Strength: ACME threads are inherently strong due to their larger cross-sectional area and broad root, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.
• Power Transmission: Designed for efficient transmission of power and motion, making them ideal for lead screws, jacks, and presses.
• Durability: The robust thread form and the properties of SS205 stainless steel contribute to a long service life, even in demanding environments.
• Corrosion Resistance: Being made of stainless steel, the rod offers good resistance to corrosion, which is crucial in various industrial settings.
• Ease of Engagement: The trapezoidal thread profile allows for easier engagement and disengagement with nuts compared to finer V-threads.
• Precision: ACME threads can be manufactured to high precision, ensuring accurate linear movement in mechanical systems.

Applications

• Lead Screws: Widely used as lead screws in machinery to convert rotary motion into linear motion, such as in CNC machines, lathes, and milling machines.
• Jacks and Actuators: Employed in various types of jacks (e.g., screw jacks) and linear actuators where strong and precise lifting or pushing capabilities are needed.
• Clamping and Pressing Devices: Used in vises, clamps, and presses to apply significant force for holding or shaping materials.
• Material Handling Equipment: Found in conveying systems, lifts, and other equipment where robust and reliable linear adjustment or movement is required.
• General Industrial Machinery: Integral to many industrial machines that require strong, durable, and precise threaded components for adjustment or power transmission.
• Specialized Fastening: Can be used as heavy-duty fasteners in applications where standard threaded rods are insufficient due to load or environmental conditions.
