Lead screw linear modules with round shafts

Discover the versatile and configurable SHT series

SHT series

The drylin® SHT linear systems can be moved lubrication-free, whilst also offering high precision and robust components. The linear module with lead screw drive is individually configurable with different shaft and lead screw materials, carriage lengths and additional functions. In addition to manual operation, lead screw stepper motors enable motorised drive of the linear axes.

The benefits at a glance:

✔ Freely selectable stroke lengths
✔ High temperature version available
Optional as multi-slide system 
✔ Optionally with right/left opposite drive
✔ Freely configurable with the SHT configurator

    Testing device ready for series production thanks to igus

    With this device it is possible to test welds for their quality. In igus drive technology, a drylin SHT linear unit is used here as standard, which enables the adjustment of a bending die. As a result, bending specimens with a maximum force of up to 5,000N are conceivable. "Munsch Kunststoff-Schweißtechnik GmbH" relies on a complete solution with electric drive in the form of a gear motor.

    Industrial vehicles with special tasks

    Jungheinrich AG, a manufacturer of industrial vehicles, developed a low-platform truck for a large-scale Scandinavian dairy, which collects trolleys that can be inserted into each other. The aim is to bring the trolleys to a washing facility. Instead of two usual forks for receiving pallets, just one fork is used here. It is controlled by a specially developed multifunction controller.

    Linear system with carriage clamping

    Linear system with carriage clamping

    All long linear carriages can be ordered with an integrated carriage clamping system. The system protects against unintentional adjustment and secures the linear carriage in place when non-self-locking dryspin® high helix threads are used.

    • For SHT installation sizes 12, 20 and 30
    • Also for reverse or multi-carriage configuration
    • Securing the position especially in vertical installation position
