Keystone Threaded Products KL006AC1A182870 Acme Threaded Rod

Product Description

The KEYSTONE THREADED PRODUCTS KL006AC1A182870 is a Precision ACME threaded rod measuring 6 feet in overall length with a 3/8-12 thread size. Manufactured from low-carbon C1018 steel, this rod features a right-hand ACME thread profile cut to a 2C fit class. ACME threads are designed for load-bearing and power-transmission applications where trapezoidal thread geometry provides efficient force transfer and consistent engagement. Machinists, millwrights, and mechanical contractors commonly use ACME threaded rod in linear motion assemblies, screw jack mechanisms, and custom fabrication work requiring a reliable, standardized thread form.

This threaded rod is suited for industrial and commercial mechanical applications. It is used in linear actuator assemblies, lead screw setups, and structural or positioning fixtures where standard V-thread fasteners are not appropriate. The 6-foot length allows field cutting to custom dimensions, making it adaptable for both OEM fabrication and MRO repair work. The C1018 low-carbon steel composition provides adequate strength for typical power-transmission loads while remaining machinable for modification on-site.

Key Features

• Precision ACME thread form with 3/8-12 thread size for efficient load transfer
• Right-hand thread direction for standard assembly orientation
• 2C fit class providing controlled clearance fit for smooth linear motion
• Low-carbon C1018 steel construction balances machinability with tensile strength
• 6-foot length supports field cutting to application-specific dimensions
• UNSPSC Code 31161618 for streamlined procurement classification

Compatibility

Designed for use in power-transmission and linear motion assemblies requiring a standard Precision ACME thread profile. Compatible with ACME thread nuts, flanges, and couplings rated for 3/8-12 thread at 2C fit class.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, mechanical technicians, or maintenance professionals. Disengage and lock out any powered equipment before installing or replacing threaded rod in a motion assembly. Use appropriate thread-cutting tools and dies when modifying rod length to maintain thread integrity at cut ends. Verify mating nut or coupling fit class matches 2C specification before final assembly.
