Keystone Threaded Products KL016AG1A182865 Acme Threaded Rod

Product Description

The KEYSTONE THREADED PRODUCTS KL016AG1A182865 is a General Purpose ACME threaded rod machined from Grade C1018 low-carbon steel. Measuring 6 feet in overall length with a 1-10 thread size, this rod is finished with an oil coating to provide basic corrosion resistance during storage and installation. The ACME thread form uses a 29-degree thread angle, making it well suited for power transmission and linear motion applications. It carries a 2G thread fit class, indicating a general-purpose tolerance appropriate for a wide range of mechanical assemblies. The right-hand thread direction is standard for most fastening and drive applications. At 14.07 pounds, this is a full-length production rod intended for industrial and trade use.

This threaded rod is used in mechanical assemblies requiring lead screw action, power transmission, or linear actuation. Common applications include machinery frames, industrial fixtures, jigs, and custom fabrication work where ACME thread engagement provides the load-handling and wear characteristics required. The Grade C1018 material offers good machinability, making it practical when field cutting or threading modifications are needed on the job. It is appropriate for both shop fabrication and on-site mechanical construction where a full 6-foot rod length is needed before cutting to final dimension.

Key Features

• ACME General Purpose thread form with 29-degree angle for power transmission applications
• 2G thread fit class for standard general-purpose tolerance and fit
• Right-hand thread direction for compatibility with standard ACME nuts and hardware
• Grade C1018 low-carbon steel provides good machinability for field modifications
• Oil finish coating protects surface during storage and handling
• Full 6-foot length allows cutting to custom dimensions on site

Compatibility

Designed for use with General Purpose ACME 2G-class nuts and drive hardware requiring a 1-10 thread size in right-hand orientation. Suitable for machinery and fabrication assemblies where ACME threaded rod in Grade C1018 low-carbon steel is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or mechanical contractors. Power down and de-energize any machinery before installing or replacing threaded rod components in mechanical drive systems. Use appropriate thread gauges to verify fit class engagement when mating with ACME nuts. Cutting to length should be performed with a metal-rated blade, and thread ends should be chamfered and deburred before assembly.
