Split nut
text:
A split nut is a nut that is split lengthwise into two pieces so that its female thread may be opened and closed over the male thread of a bolt or leadscrew. This allows the nut, when open, to move along the screw without the screw turning. Then, when the nut is closed, it resumes the normal movement of a nut on a screw A split nut assembly is often used in positioning systems, for example in the leadscrew of a lathe. It is one of the machine elements that makes single-point threading practical
