No chance for corrosion & chemicals

25% less wear

Certain materials rust much faster in humid environments than we would like. The wear rate increases, the fit becomes imprecise and the service life is reduced. Chemicals and strong detergents are also not beneficial for these materials.
 
Stainless steel is the standard material for our lead screws. In combination with our drylin lead screw nuts, there is 100% freedom from corrosion. Tests show that wear is reduced by up to 25%. And we can also find a suitable material for your application in extreme environmental conditions. Our experts offer the solution for your specific application.

30% longer service life

But not only wear and tear can be reduced. With specifications and shapes matching the polymer nut and lead screw, dryspin provides up to 30% longer service life and efficiency for high helix threads. The rounded tooth geometry reduces the contact area between lead screw and nut, allowing the lead screw drives to operate quietly and without vibration under load.

High efficiency and low wear

The patented dryspin high helix thread technology was developed by igus in 2013 and offers numerous advantages compared to conventional high helix threads. Due to the flat thread angle, it efficiently converts the force introduced into a translational movement. With specifications and geometries matched to the plastic nut and spindles, dryspin provides an even longer service life and more efficiency for high helix threads. The rounded tooth geometry reduces the contact area between lead screw and nut, allowing the lead screw drives to operate quietly and without vibration under load.
 
The larger spaces between the individual dryspin thread pitches result in a higher proportion (factor 1.3) of tribologically optimised polymer in the threads. More wear-resistant material and higher efficiency are decisive for up to five times longer service life compared to conventional high helix threads.
