Tr8x8 Lead Screw T8 Diameter 8mm Pitch 2mm Lead 8mm

T8 Lead Screw – 8mm Diameter, 8mm Lead, 2mm Pitch

Available Lengths: 300mm | 500mm | 100cm

This T8 lead screw is a reliable linear motion component designed for applications where faster travel speed is more important than ultra-fine resolution. With an 8mm diameter, 2mm pitch, and 8mm lead, it moves the nut 8mm per full rotation, making it a popular choice for 3D printer Z-axis upgrades, CNC machines, and custom automation projects.

Whether you are replacing a worn lead screw or designing a new motion system, this T8 lead screw offers a solid balance of strength, efficiency, and availability in practical lengths.

What This Lead Screw Is Best Used For

This configuration, T8 with 8mm lead, is commonly chosen when you want faster vertical movement compared to fine-lead screws, reliable motion for Z-axis applications, and a simple, proven solution for DIY, hobby, or light industrial builds.

Typical uses include 3D printer Z-axis, especially large or dual-Z setups, CNC machine linear axes, automation systems and linear actuators, and robotics or custom mechanical projects.

Understanding the Specs

• Diameter: 8mm (T8). This is a very common standard size, easy to support with bearings, couplers, and nuts.
• Pitch: 2mm. The distance between threads.
• Lead: 8mm (4-start). The nut travels 8mm per full rotation. This allows faster movement, fewer motor rotations needed, and slightly lower positional resolution than fine-lead screws. It is ideal when speed and efficiency matter more than micro-precision.

Available Lengths – How to Choose

300mm:

• Best for compact machines and standard 3D printers
• Ideal when space is limited or for replacement parts

500mm:

• Popular choice for taller printers and CNC Z-axes
• Good balance between travel length and rigidity

100cm:

• Designed for large-format machines or custom builds
• Also suitable if you prefer cutting the screw to size yourself

Tip: if your required length is not on Zivon, you can choose a longer lead screw and cut it down to your exact requirement.
