Help Finding a manufacturer for an auto reversing screw

Help Finding a manufacturer for an auto reversing screw

(OP)
I have been searching high and low for companies that manufacture auto reversing screws. I have only found one company Wedin International which can make both the screw and the pawl. I need to get competing quotes
I am hoping you can help me find some other companies which make these screws. they need to be based in the Continental US and have experience doing this kind of work including the design of the screw thread and the pawl.

RE: Help Finding a manufacturer for an auto reversing screw

Maybe try one of the larger producers of lead screws, etc. like Nook Industries:

RE: Help Finding a manufacturer for an auto reversing screw

Here are two linked manufacturers that can make your part. I’m familiar with RGS. We used hundreds of this type cam a s a traverse guide on textile machinery. All ours were built in-house.
There is a lot of discussion about the design using several of the Cad programs. It look like all you have to have is the linear input in respect to time and you are on your way.
