Kerk Motion Products, one of the world's premier manufacturers of non-ball lead screws, offers its NTB Series anti-backlash, non-ball lead screw assembly.

Designed for higher load applications than the Kerk ZBX or KHD series units, Kerk's NTB Series uses Kerk's patented axial take up mechanism to maintain axial stiffness throughout its life while holding system torque to a minimum. The need to highly pre-load the nut to compensate for load has been eliminated with the Kerk NTB Series assembly.

The nut is manufactured with a self-lubricating polyacetal designed to run efficiently on Kerk's precision rolled screws. Screws are 303 stainless and are available with Kerk's proprietary, long-life Kerkote® TFE coating. The NTB's simple, compact design can be easily modified for custom applications.

The NTB assembly provides low drag torque, high system stiffness, smooth operation, and long life throughout its load and speed range.

They are available in a full range of sizes and feature ample design flexibility, low-drag torque and high axial stiffness. This style is also available in miniature sizes. The Kerk® Mini NTB Series brings Kerk quality, precision and value to products that were previously off-limits to lead screw technology.

Kerk® MINI NTB nuts provide zero backlash with drag torque of less than 1 oz.-in. (some sizes as low as 0.1 oz.-in.)! Using Kerk's patented take-up mechanism, the self-compensating mini-NTB maintains axial stiffness throughout its life while system torque is held to a minimum. Kerk's Mini NTB has what it takes for affordable, precision motion control, sized to fit and built to last.
