Keystone Threaded Products KL018AG1A182845 Threaded Rod

Product Description

The KEYSTONE THREADED PRODUCTS KL018AG1A182845 is a general-purpose ACME threaded rod designed for linear motion, power transmission, and structural fastening applications. Manufactured from Grade C1018 low-carbon steel with an oil finish coating, this rod measures 1-1/8-5 in thread size - meaning 1-1/8 inch nominal diameter with 5 threads per inch - and runs 6 feet in overall length. The 2G fit class and right-hand thread orientation make it a standard choice for lead screw assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and industrial equipment builds. At 25.56 pounds, this is a full-length stock rod suited for job-site fabrication or shop use.

This threaded rod is used across mechanical, industrial, and construction trade applications where ACME thread forms are required. General-purpose ACME profile provides a strong, wear-resistant thread form commonly found in clamps, vises, actuators, lead screws, and heavy-duty fastening assemblies. It is typically cut to length in the field or shop to fit specific application requirements. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and structural tradespeople commonly work with this type of rod in both commercial and industrial settings.

Key Features

• ACME thread form with 2G fit class for general-purpose linear motion and power transmission
• 1-1/8-5 thread size - 1-1/8 inch diameter, 5 threads per inch
• 6-foot overall length provides full stock for field or shop cutting
• Grade C1018 low-carbon steel for good machinability and weldability
• Right-hand thread direction - standard orientation for most assemblies
• Oil finish coating for corrosion resistance during storage and handling

Compatibility

Designed for use in general-purpose ACME threaded assemblies requiring a 1-1/8-5 thread profile with 2G fit class tolerance. Suitable for lead screw systems, industrial clamps, actuator assemblies, and structural fastening applications where C1018 low-carbon steel material meets specification.

Installation Notes

This rod is typically cut to length using a band saw, hacksaw, or cold saw before installation - always deburr cut ends before threading onto mating components. Use appropriate thread gauges to verify fit class compliance after any field cutting or re-threading. Wear appropriate PPE when cutting or handling full-length rod stock. Consult applicable mechanical or structural codes for torque and load requirements specific to your assembly.
