Left-Hand Threaded Rod

Product Code: MD-CVT-0066

A left-hand threaded rod is selected to suit the direction of rotation so that the joint does not loosen during operation. Diameter, length, pitch and material can be specified for the application. ## Selection Criteria - **Purpose:** Evaluate rotation direction and operating principle. - **Load capacity:** Consider tensile, compressive and dynamic loads. - **Environment:** Moisture, chemicals and corrosion risk affect material and coating. - **Strength and wear:** Choose a grade suitable for operating frequency. - **Thread form:** Select coarse or fine pitch according to adjustment accuracy and load. - **Dimensions:** Diameter, overall length and tolerance must match the nut and equipment. Use left-hand threaded rods only with matching left-hand nuts and components.
