In addition to Kerk’s standard nut types, modified and complete custom configurations are a large portion of Kerk’s production. Modifications may be simple changes such as different mounting hole patterns or mounting threads, small dimensional changes or special materials. Kerk can provide tremendous value by producing a multi-function nut. Using custom molds and specialty machining, nuts can also include guide bushings, carriages, timing pulleys, gears, syringe components, sensor mounts and flags, encoder features, clamps and many other complimentary elements. In addition, custom designed nuts can offer quick release mounts, partial thread engagement, half nut construction or special shapes and geometries. Special materials are offered to extend the performance of our assemblies. Materials can be chosen for extreme temperature, chemical compatibility, autoclaving, agency approvals, special loadings and many other specific requirements.
