10.22.2024, DOWNERS GROVE, IL – Thomson Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer of linear motion control solutions, has enhanced its online lead screw selector tool with machining and end support options. The upgraded tool now allows design engineers to not only find the right acme screw but also configure the necessary end machining and supports, streamlining the specification process and reducing the time from design to implementation.
The updated tool continues to offer an intuitive, visual-based interface that helps users quickly identify the best acme screw for their application. Now, with the added functionality, engineers can select from pre-configured machining options and standard end supports without needing to leave the tool, making it easier than ever to build a complete assembly from the ground up.
“By integrating machining and end supports directly into our selector tool, we’ve significantly simplified the process for our customers,” said Lindsey Brimage, Sr. Product Manager for Screws at Thomson. “Users can now configure their entire acme screw assembly, from screw to end supports, in one seamless experience.”
Thomson's acme screws are a proven solution for precise and maintenance-free linear motion in a wide range of applications. The enhanced selector tool allows users to specify end machining directly within the platform, eliminating the need for custom modifications post-purchase. With the addition of standard end supports, engineers can ensure optimal performance across various mounting configurations.
In addition to these new features, the tool continues to offer real-time parameter filtering, up-front pricing and lead times to further simplify the selection process. Once the configuration is complete, users can download 3D models for their assemblies, access detailed product specifications or proceed to purchase—all without leaving the tool’s interface.
