Does anyone know the specifications on the Genie Screw Drive garage door opener screw? I have a source for the screws and if I can find a matching anti-backlash nut I think I might try them out. The goal is a low cost performance increase over my 13 TPI single start all thread screw.
Based on my physical inspection of the genie part I think the specs are:
- 1/2" OD
- 3 starts
- 8 Threads Per Inch (TPI)
But I am not sure if it is an ACME thread or some other (Worm maybe).
I have called Genie, but I have not yet been able to get any technical data. Has anyone else looked into this?
Thanks!
