Tech up                                                                                                     Cost down

► 25% less wear                                                                                        ► 50.9% more cost-effective than metallic lead screw nuts
► 30% longer service life due to thread asymmetry                            ► Up to 69% compared to similar plastic lead screw nuts
► 100% lubrication-free, maintenance-free and corrosion-free        ► Up to 50% compared to ball screw thread systems
► Up to 88% weight saving                                                                                  

 

How can unwanted contamination be avoided in laboratories? 

Metal lead screw nuts are still standard in medical technology. However, most of them require regular lubrication and maintenance. Dust and dirt particles can adhere well to the lubrication used. This leads to considerable contamination and significantly higher wear compared to a dry-operating system. In addition, the metal lead screw nuts can corrode quickly in damp environments.
 
The lubrication-free and maintenance-free drylin lead screw technology is used in medical technology and offers many convincing advantages. They are completely lubrication-free and maintenance-free and can also be used in corrosive environments without any problems. 

 

How igus lead screw technology can reduce costs in rehabilitation equipment

Metal lead screw nuts are more expensive to purchase than plastic lead screw nuts. By replacing your metal lead screw nuts with dryspin technology with the same connection dimensions, you can save up to 50.9% of the purchase costs. Tests have shown that the wear rate is reduced by up to 25% and the service life is increased by 30%.
