Handwheels, Leadscrews, and Leadscrew Drives
Simple slides and drives can be devised in your own shop using standard components available from Sherline Industrial Products. An accurately marked handwheel on a threaded rod of known pitch provides precise control over linear movement. These nicely machined and finished components will also add a professional look to your designs. Components for backlash adjustment are provided when ordered with a leadscrew. You can add automated control by using stepper motor-driven leadscrews.

When paired with Sherline’s programmable linear controller, this setup provides a complete, self-contained single-axis CNC power feed. The power supply, mounting screws, and anti-backlash nut (not shown) are included. An additional cable is provided for use with a limit switch or for “daisy-chaining” multiple controllers.
