drylin® lead screw technology –
Tech up & Cost down

Determine your personal savings potential NOW*

_{*Whether we are talking about savings in terms of time or money spent on installation, selection, design etc., or about technical improvement in the form of ease of installation, durability etc., if we are unable to show you any savings or technical improvement, we will recommend an alternative solution.}

Tech up

Cost down

Up to 50.9% more cost-effective than metallic sliding thread nuts
Up to 69% more cost-effective than comparable plastic lead screw nuts
Up to 50% compared to ball screw thread systems*

*Due to a deviating thread profile, lead screw & nut must always be replaced, even for the same thread size

Always the most cost-effective lead screw system that works.
With igus drylin lead screw drives.

Overengineering is a thing of the past. The best lead screw system does not have to be the most expensive one.

Save 100% of lubricants

Lubrication is indispensable for metal lead screw nuts, since without it they will rust and deform during use. Our drylin® plastic lead screw nuts do not require a single drop of lubrication. Our lead screw technology scores points for quiet running because they do not have to overcome the resistance of the lubricant and start up with a much lower breakaway torque.

Maintenance-free dry operation thanks to drylin lead screw technology

drylin® lead screw drives are free of lubricants

Corrosion-free drylin® plastic lead screw nuts

Corrosion? No thank you!

Plastic lead screw nuts have an important advantage over those made of metal: they are entirely corrosion-resistant. Even in corrosive environments, drylin lead screw drives run smoothly and have a long service life – entirely without maintenance.

Corrosion-free use under extreme weather conditions

Save up to 50% weight

Metal lead screw nuts are robust – and heavy. drylin plastic lead screw nuts offer the perfect alternative for many applications because they are lightweight, reliable and durable. drylin lead screw drives are often used in the automotive and rail industries. Wherever low weight is important, our light lead screw nuts made of plastic are perfect.

drylin lead screw technology fulfils stringent weight requirements

30% longer service life with dryspin® technology

Up to 30% longer service life

The asymmetrical threads of the dryspin technology developed by us increase service life by up to 30%, and the flat flank angle increases efficiency. The contact area between lead screw and nut is reduced, and the lead screw systems operate quietly and without vibration under load.

dryspin technology can do more

Cost down

Corrosion-free drylin® lead screw drives

Up to 50.9% more cost-effective than comparable metal solutions

Our plastic lead screw nuts distinguish themselves from their metallic counterparts not only with their technical advantages, such as elimination of lubrication and freedom from rust, but also in price (they cost about 50% less).

drylin lead screw technology has a convincing cost comparison

Do you need other cost comparisons for lead screw systems made of plastic or metal to determine your savings potential? We would be happy to advise you. It's our job!

Proven in more than 50 industries

Knorr-Bremse GmbH, Division IFE

"The initial task was to technologically improve a boarding system for rail vehicles," says Johann Wilflinger, System Development Group Leader at IFE's Kematen/Ybbs location in Austria. "The retractable step was to work even more reliably, but cost less. “

Sustainability

Our lead screw drives require not a drop of lubricating oil. Not only our users, but also the environment profit from this. In addition, our tribologically optimised materials produce less abrasion, as a result of which less energy is needed.
