Because of the large area of sliding contact between their male and female members, screw threads have larger frictional energy losses compared to other linkages. A leadscrew (or lead screw), also known as a power screw or translation screw, is a screw used as a linkage in a machine, to translate turning motion into linear motionThey are not typically used to carry high power, but more for intermittent use in low power actuator and positioner mechanisms. Leadscrews are commonly used in linear actuators, machine slides (such as in machine tools), vises, presses, and jacks. Leadscrews are a common component in electric linear actuators.

Types

Power screws are classified by the geometry of their thread. V-threads are less suitable for leadscrews than others such as Acme, because they have more friction between the threads. Their threads are designed to induce this friction to keep the fastener from loosening. Leadscrews, on the other hand, are designed to minimize friction. Therefore, in most commercial and industrial use, V-threads are avoided for leadscrew use. Nevertheless, V-threads are sometimes successfully used as leadscrews.

Square thread

Square threads are named after their square geometry. They are the most efficient, having the least fricition, so they are often used for screws that carry high power. But they are also the most difficult to machine, and are thus the most expensive.

Acme thread / Trapezoidal thread

Main article: Acme thread form

Acme threads have a 29° thread angle, which is easier to machine than square threads. They are not as efficient as square threads, due to the increased friction induced by the thread angle. Acme threads are generally also stronger than square threads due to their trapezoidal thread profile, which provides greater load-bearing capabilities.

Buttress thread

Buttress threads are of a triangular shape. These are used where the load force on the screw is only applied in one direction.They are as efficient as square threads in these applications, but are easier to manufacture.

Advantages & disadvantages:

The advantages of a leadscrew are:

• Large load carrying capability
• Compact
• Simple to design
• Easy to manufacture; no specialized machinery is required
• Large mechanical advantage
• Precise and accurate linear motion
• Smooth, quiet, and low maintenance
• Minimal number of parts
• Most are self-locking (cannot be back-driven)

The disadvantages are that most are not very efficient. Due to the low efficiency they cannot be used in continuous power transmission applications. They also have a high degree of friction on the threads, which can wear the threads out quickly. For square threads, the nut must be replaced; for trapezoidal threads, a split nut may be used to compensate for the wear.
