Keystone Threaded Products KB014AC1D182850 Threaded Rod

Product Description

The KEYSTONE THREADED PRODUCTS KB014AC1D182850 is a 7/8-6 Precision ACME threaded rod machined from Grade B7 alloy steel. At 6 feet in length and weighing 9.72 pounds, this rod is built for high-load fastening, power transmission, and linear motion applications. The single-start, right-hand ACME thread with a 2C fit class delivers the controlled engagement and load distribution that engineers and fabricators require in demanding mechanical assemblies. Grade B7 alloy steel provides high tensile strength and resistance to elevated temperatures, making this rod suitable for structural fastening, hydraulic press components, valve stems, and heavy equipment builds. Machinists, millwrights, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers.

This threaded rod is suited for industrial and commercial applications where standard unified thread forms are not adequate. ACME threads are commonly specified in power screw assemblies, lead screw setups, and heavy-duty clamping fixtures. The 2C fit class indicates a standard clearance fit appropriate for general power transmission and positioning hardware. The 72-inch length allows field cutting to custom lengths, reducing waste and material lead time on multi-component builds.

Key Features

• 7/8-6 Precision ACME thread form for smooth load transfer in power transmission assemblies
• Grade B7 alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength and elevated-temperature performance
• Right-hand, single-start thread for compatibility with standard ACME nuts and drive hardware
• 2C thread fit class delivers standard clearance for consistent engagement in power screw applications
• 6-foot overall length allows on-site cutting to required dimension
• UNSPSC Code 31161618 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed for use with 7/8-6 ACME 2C-compatible nuts, flanges, and drive assemblies in power transmission, structural fastening, and linear motion applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, mechanical contractors, or fabricators working with power transmission or structural fastening assemblies. Cut to length using a metal bandsaw or cold saw, then deburr and chamfer thread ends before assembly to prevent cross-threading. Always verify thread fit class and direction against mating nut specifications before final assembly. Wear appropriate PPE when cutting or handling alloy steel rod stock.
