Keystone Capabilities

At Keystone, we’re proud to be a leading producer of precision roll threaded products, specializing in Acme, trapezoidal, and unified form threads as well as large diameter threading. We have unparalleled experience and capabilities and produce quality, long-lasting components that stand the test of time. Our materials include carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel (303, 304, 316), brass, bronze, aluminum, and exotic metals.

We offer national course, fine, and Acme threads as aggressive as 1.5 pitch in addition to metric and trapezoidal threads. Threads can be right or left hand. Additionally, our CNC department can machine bar ends to your specifications. We make an assortment of hex, round, and cylindrical nuts to mate with our threaded rod as well as special screws and nuts to meet our customer needs.

Rolled Thread Part Dimensions

We can roll thread rods ranging from ¼ inch to 20 inches in diameter. There is no limit on threaded rod length, although our most common lengths are between 12 feet and 24 feet in overall length. 

Tightest Tolerances for Lead Accuracy

Standard lead accuracy for Acme-2C is within 0.7 MIL per inch (0.0007/1). This tolerance is eased somewhat for the Acme 2-G, which is maintained within 1 MIL per inch (0.001/1). For pitch diameter tolerance, we often manufacture 3A grade threads, which often require as low as 3 MIL total allowance.
