NEW PRODUCTS
Lead Screws and Nuts
ServoCity is now offering several new lead screw products. Their 8 mm lead screws offer an excellent
way to turn rotational motion into linear motion. The 2 mm
pitch offers a good trade-off between torque required to
drive the screw and linear speed created. Each rotation of
the lead screw will drive the mating nut precisely 8 mm.
The OD of the lead screws is just under 8 mm to ensure
proper fitment in an 8 mm ID bearing or clamp. These
screws are commonly used in 3D printers, CNC routers, lift
mechanisms, and automation projects, and are available in
various lengths. Pricing on the lead screws goes from $9.99
to $39.99.
ServoCity’s 8 mm lead screw barrel nut is intended to
be used with their 8 mm lead screw. The threads are
precisely cut to provide minimal backlash or side to side
rock while retaining a low coefficient of friction between
the bronze nut and the stainless lead screw. The . 5" outside
diameter works well with their clamping hubs which
provides a solid way to attach Actobotics components to a
drive system. The lead screws and nuts are commonly used
on 3D printers, CNC machines, and lift mechanisms due to
the high precision and strength. Cost of the 8 mm lead
screw barrel nut is $4.99.
ServoCity’s 8 mm lead screw nut with a .770" pattern is
intended to be used with their 8 mm lead screw. The
threads are precisely cut to provide minimal backlash or side
to side rock while retaining a low coefficient of friction
between the bronze nut and the stainless lead screw. The
.770" pattern provides a simple way to attach Actobotics
components to a linear drive system, or if builders want a
clamping solution to easily index the nut, a 1" clamping hub
around the outer diameter of the lead screw nut can be
used. Pricing on the 8 mm lead screw nut with the 0.770"
pattern is $7.99.

Motor Controller
Ion Motion Control introduces their new two-channel RoboClaw 2X7A motor controller. It’s a compact motor
controller rated at seven amps continuous with up to 15 amps per
channel peak. It includes a one amp user power switching
regulator (BEC), with a maximum operating voltage of 36 VDC. Its
multi-mode interface allows it to work with RC radios, Arduinos,
Raspberry Pis, and more. No level shifting is required to work with
3.3V or 5V devices. It includes built-in thermal, over-current, over-and under-voltage protection. Limit switches, home switches,
quadrature encoders, absolute encoders, and potentiometers are
just some of the external sensors supported. RoboClaw includes a
free downloaded setup and configuration application making
setup quick and easy. For further information, please contact:
