Keystone Threaded Products KB008AC2D182865 Threaded Rod

Product Description

The KEYSTONE THREADED PRODUCTS KB008AC2D182865 is a Precision ACME threaded rod manufactured from Grade B7 alloy steel. Measuring 72 inches in overall length with a 1/2-10 ACME thread profile, this rod is designed for use in linear motion, power transmission, and structural clamping applications where controlled, low-friction axial movement is required. The 2C fit class provides a standard running clearance suitable for general-purpose ACME assemblies. At 3.06 pounds, it is sized for bench or field cutting to length by machinists, millwrights, mechanics, and maintenance technicians working with lead screw mechanisms or custom jig and fixture builds.

This threaded rod is suited for industrial, commercial, and trade applications including HVAC equipment mounting frameworks, mechanical actuator assemblies, conveyor guide systems, and custom fabrication projects. The right-hand thread direction conforms to standard engagement expectations, simplifying pairing with off-the-shelf ACME nuts and lead screw hardware. The 2-start Precision ACME thread form supports efficient load transfer and is commonly specified in applications demanding repeatable linear positioning alongside adequate load-carrying capacity.

Key Features

• Grade B7 alloy steel construction for high tensile strength and fatigue resistance in demanding mechanical environments
• 1/2-10 ACME thread profile with 2C fit class for standard running clearance in power transmission assemblies
• 2-start Precision ACME thread form for improved linear travel per revolution
• Right-hand thread direction for compatibility with standard ACME nuts and lead screw hardware
• 72-inch overall length allows field or shop cutting to custom lengths
• UNSPSC Code 31161618 for streamlined procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2-10 ACME 2C-class nuts and lead screw components in power transmission and linear motion assemblies requiring a Precision ACME Grade B7 alloy steel threaded rod.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified machinists, millwrights, or mechanical tradespeople familiar with ACME thread assemblies and linear motion systems. Power down and de-energize all connected equipment before cutting, threading, or installing this rod into an assembly. Use appropriate thread lubricant compatible with alloy steel to reduce galling during engagement with mating ACME nuts. Follow applicable machinery safety standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines when integrating into actuator or load-bearing systems.
