Threaded spindles are machine elements in a screw gearing. Along with other elements, threaded spindles are used in screw gearings to transform rotary motion into translatory motion. A threaded spindle comprises a threaded rod and in the simplest of scenarios a trapezoid and/or flat thread. Threaded spindles are sometimes known as leading screws too.
