Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, a recognized leader in linear and rotary motion solutions, offers its line of micro screws (2mm diameter screws) with customized lead screw nut materials for specialized medical applications.

Haydon Kerk has many years of experience working with companies in developing insulin and drug delivery pumps. Now, by utilizing Haydon Kerk’s custom thread rolling, in-house plastic injection molding, and tooling departments, a customized a solution can be developed to meet the challenges involved with engineering the next generation of insulin patch pumps and other personal drug delivery systems.

Utilizing a Kerkite® engineered polymers or customer specified materials (including PEEK), Haydon Kerk can help design and manufacture a lead screw nut that delivers smooth, efficient rotary to linear motion conversion. With the use of Kerkote® TFE coating, Haydon Kerk can effectively reduce the amount of torque required to actuate the plunger. This can lead to longer battery life and a possible reduction in motor size.

More information on Micro series lead screws can be found on at the Haydon Kerk website. Prototype kits also are available for the Micro series at its 24-hour Express Website. If the lead screw required is not listed, Haydon Kerk can develop a specific lead screw that meets specific application requirements.
