Wear comparison lead screw drive
iglidur® J material compared to POM PTFE and PA PTFE
In the igus® laboratories the wear of different lead screw drives was compared and measured after 100,000 cycles.
The wear comparison was carried out under the following test parameters:Load: 200N
Speed of rotation: 100rpm
Stroke length: 140mm
Test temperature: ~23°C
PA+PTFE on rust-free steel, POM+PTFE on rust-free steel, iglidur® J on rust-free steel
Thread pitch: DS10x25, 3/8"-1"
