Keystone Threaded Products KL008AG1A182865 Acme Threaded Rod

Product Description

The KEYSTONE THREADED PRODUCTS KL008AG1A182865 is a general-purpose ACME threaded rod measuring 72 inches in length with a 1/2-10 thread size. Manufactured from low-carbon C1018 steel with an oil finish coating, this rod carries a 2G thread fit class and a right-hand thread direction. ACME thread forms are designed for power transmission and linear motion applications, offering a wider thread profile than standard unified threads. Licensed tradespeople and industrial maintenance technicians select this rod when building or repairing lead screw assemblies, jacking systems, and mechanical actuators.

This threaded rod is suited for general-purpose ACME drive applications in light industrial and mechanical systems. The 1/2-10 designation indicates a 1/2-inch nominal diameter with 10 threads per inch, a common specification for small-load linear actuators, custom jigs, and maintenance fixtures. The oil finish provides basic corrosion resistance during storage and installation. Its low-carbon C1018 steel construction offers adequate tensile strength for moderate-load, non-critical drive applications in both shop and field environments.

Key Features

• ACME 2G thread fit class for general-purpose power transmission applications
• 1/2-10 thread size: 1/2-inch nominal diameter at 10 threads per inch
• 72-inch overall length provides material for custom-cut or full-length installations
• Right-hand thread direction for standard drive orientation
• Low-carbon C1018 steel construction with oil finish coating

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose ACME threaded rod compatible with standard 1/2-10 ACME nuts, lead nut assemblies, and matching thread engagement hardware in light industrial and mechanical drive applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of ACME threaded rod is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance mechanics using standard threading and cutting tools. Cut the rod to length with an appropriate metal-cutting saw or angle grinder and deburr cut ends before assembly. Ensure mating ACME nuts match the 2G fit class and right-hand thread specification before installation. Power down and de-energize any machinery fully before replacing or retrofitting drive rod components.
