Split nut

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A split nut is a nut that consists of two pieces which can be clamped together to engage the thread of the nut with the bolt, or released, to allow the nut to move along the bolt without turning the bolt. A split nut assembly is often used in positioning systems, for example in the lead screw of a lathe.
