Please help me, mechanically literate types. I need a new one of these.
Tomorrow, when I call around to locate one, I would like to know what to call it. "thing-a-ma-bob" or "whatz-a-ma-doo-dad" just don't help that much.
It's a big brass threaded gear block/nut that climbs up and down on this worm gear.

"ball nut" "acme screw"
Thank you! that's what I needed I think. I just didn't have the vocabulary. It should help make the phone calls go a little smoother. It is part of the lifting mechanism for the bowl on a big food service dough mixer.
Of course it is all an excuse to take the bike on a ride tomorrow.
