Keystone KL032AC1A182840 Acme Threaded Rod 2-4 6 Ft C1018

Product Description

The KEYSTONE THREADED PRODUCTS KL032AC1A182840 is a precision ACME threaded rod machined from low-carbon C1018 steel. It measures 6 feet in overall length and carries a 2-4 ACME thread profile with a Class 2C fit and right-hand thread direction. ACME thread forms are designed for power transmission and linear motion applications, offering a wider thread form than standard 60-degree profiles. This rod is used in fabrication, mechanical assemblies, and industrial maintenance work where controlled linear movement or structural fastening under load is required. Installers in mechanical, millwright, and industrial trades typically source this rod for custom fabrication or machinery repair.

This threaded rod is suited for commercial and industrial mechanical assemblies where ACME thread forms are specified. Common applications include lead screws, actuator assemblies, jacking mechanisms, conveyor components, and general structural fabrication. The 6-foot length provides flexibility for cutting to custom sizes on the job. The C1018 low-carbon steel grade offers good machinability, making it straightforward to cut, drill, or modify with standard shop equipment.

Key Features

• ACME thread form with Precision ACME Vernier specification for controlled fit and linear motion use
• Class 2C thread fit for standard clearance in power transmission applications
• Right-hand thread direction, the industry standard for most mechanical assemblies
• C1018 low-carbon steel grade provides consistent machinability and weldability
• 6-foot length allows on-site cutting to project-specific dimensions
• UNSPSC Code 31161618 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed for use in mechanical assemblies, fabrication projects, and industrial equipment requiring a 2-4 ACME threaded rod in C1018 low-carbon steel with a Class 2C fit and right-hand thread direction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, machinists, or mechanical contractors using standard threading dies, cutting tools, and torque equipment appropriate to the assembly specification. Cut threads should be deburred and inspected before assembly to ensure proper fit class engagement. Always verify that mating nuts or threaded components carry the same ACME thread profile, pitch, and fit class before installation. Follow applicable ANSI and ASME fastener standards for torque and preload requirements specific to the assembly design.
