New additions to igus leadscrew drive range - Accurate linear motion for a wide range of applications
25 June 2012

igus, the leading manufacturer of plastic bearings and leadscrews, has introduced new products and line extensions to its comprehensive range of linear drive systems. The leadscrews and nuts are dry running, corrosion resistant and maintenance free, enabling precise and accurate linear motion over a long service life.
drylin® hard anodised aluminium leadscrews are very light in weight. They are non-magnetic and rust proof, making them suitable for applications including mobile devices, medical equipment, scanners, mechanical engineering and safety engineering. To compensate for manufacturing installation tolerances, a combination of a leadscrew nut and spherical bearing has been developed. This allows for angular errors that can occur when fitting attachment brackets and this leadscrew is perfect for rehabilitation and fitness equipment.
Trapezoidal leadscrews for the food and medical sector are now available in the new materials glider J350, that can reach temperatures up to 220 ºC, and also FDA approved iglidur A180. Available in flange and plain versions, these leadscrew nuts have low coefficients of friction, low moisture absorption and very low wear rates. Also new for highly technical applications such as vision systems and laboratory equipment, are four smaller sized high helix thread leadscrews.
The benefits of the dylin leadscrew range is that it offers a variety of thread types, to cover a vast range of applications and all of the trapezoidal nuts are produced from triboplastics. They require no maintenance or lubrication and provide technical advantages such as repelling dirt and debris.
