Quick answer
1605 and 1610 usually share a 16 mm screw diameter. The key difference is lead. 1605 focuses more on thrust, low-speed smoothness, and positioning resolution; 1610 focuses more on speed and longer travel. Compare speed and thrust, axis direction, load, motor, support units, end machining, and related linear guides in one RFQ.
When to choose 1605
Choose 1605 when thrust, low-speed smoothness, positioning resolution, or conservative load is more important. Small CNC machines, router Z axes, fixture adjustment, and general positioning often start with 1605.
When to choose 1610
Choose 1610 when higher linear speed, longer travel, or cycle time is more important. With higher speed, confirm motor torque, support method, critical speed, and end machining fit.
- Confirm whether the model is fixed as 1605 or 1610.
- Describe the axis: X, Y, Z, or adjustment axis.
- Provide travel, speed, load, and mounting method.
- Attach support model or end drawing if end machining is required.
