THE COMPANY
For over 30 years Nook Industries has manufactured the most complete selection of Precision Linear Motion Components and Assemblies. Complimenting traditional linear motion product designs with the latest engineering and manufacturing technology, Nook produces precision, cost-effective solutions. Whether the application requires an off-the-shelf linear motion component or a custom engineered solution, Nook Industries provides the performance with the quality you come to expect.
NOOK MODULAR LINEAR ACTUATORS
NOOK Modular Linear Actuators are belt, ball screw, acme screw or linear motor driven mechanical actuators. A single or double carriage is assembled to a self-supporting aluminum profile with roller bearing, profile rail or “V” groove guidance. Nook Modular Linear Actuators provide efficient and flexible systems for a multitude of gantry XY and XYZ positioning duties.
ACTIONJAC™ ELECTRIC CYLINDERS
ActionJac™ electro-mechanical actuators are produced in standard ball and acme screw actuated models with multiple capacities and travel rates available. All cylinders offer customized travel lengths to meet application requirements.
NOOK CC™ COMPACT ACTUATORS
NOOK CC™ Compact Actuators are ball screw driven electro-mechanical linear actuators with a static capacity of 3,000 lbs. CC Actuators are available in DC and AC models. Produced in standard lengths CC actuators for compact, high performance and accurate positioning. A complete line of accessories offers customizable solutions to meet application requirements.
ACTIONJAC™ WORM GEAR SCREW JACKS
ActionJac™ Worm Gear Screw Jacks are produced in standard ball and acme screw actuated models with multiple configurations available per model size. All jacks offer customized travel lengths to meet application requirements. Inch and metric models available.
NOOK PRECISION PROFILE RAIL SYSTEMS
NOOK Precision Profile Rail Systems are interchangeable with other manufacturers and provide stable and efficient linear motion guidance under variable speeds and high load conditions. Runner blocks utilize steel return tubes for ball recirculation or a plastic end cap for ball recirculation.
NOOK NRS™
Nook NRS™ planetary roller screws are used in the most demanding and precise linear motion applications. With a greater number of contact points, roller screws provide greater stiffness and higher load ratings than equally sized ball screws and acme screws. Several nut styles are available, matched with over 45 screw diameters and leads.
NOOK POWERTRAC™
Nook PowerTrac™ ball screws are manufactured in standard rolled (±.004″/ft), precision rolled (±.001″/ft) and ground screw (±.0005″/ft) accuracies. Nook ball screws provide an efficient means of turning rotary motion to linear motion while providing highly accurate and repeatable movement. Several ball nut styles are available, matched with over 60 screw diameters and leads. Twin-lead screw assemblies and metric Carry™ ball screw assemblies are also available.
NOOK POWERAC™
Nook PowerAc™ acme screws are manufactured with a centralizing thread form to prevent wedging. Standard rolled (±.0003″/in), milled (±.002″/ft) and ground screw (±.0005″/ft) accuracies are available. Nuts, including bronze, plastic and anti-backlash styles are matched with over 110 screw diameters and leads. Twin-lead screw assemblies and metric Speedy™ lead screw assemblies are also available.
NOOK EZZE-MOUNT™
Nook EZZE-MOUNT™ end bearing supports offer a complete, easy installation for supporting precision-machined ball screw and acme screw assemblies. Single and double bearing base, flange mount and integrated motor mount versions are available.
NOOK PRECISION LOCKNUTS
Precision locknuts secure bearings or machine components to shafts and other rotating elements while providing adjustment and preload.
NOOK PRECISION END MACHINING
Ball screws, acme screws and linear shafting can be supplied machined to customer specifications or to Nook standard end configurations.
POWERTRAX
PowerTrax™ linear slides offer a full range of pre-assembled and ready to mount slide systems. Systems include manual and automated drive options, protective boots, special motor mounts and custom carriage plate machining. Inch and metric models available.
