The patented igus dryspin® lead screw technology for the automotive industry – fast and lubrication-free operation
Marco Thull | 17. April 2020
The degree of automation in the exterior and interior of the car and the associated quality requirements are constantly growing. At the same time, actuators are becoming ever smaller and the driven components must be designed more efficiently.
To drive moving parts or assemblies efficiently and without additional lubrication, more and more customers in the automotive industry rely on the patented dryspin® lead screw technology. The lead screws and lead screw nuts with dryspin® technology are based on the principle of lubrication-free linear technology. For completely lubrication-free use, stainless-steel or hard anodised aluminium lead screws are combined with high-performance polymers from the proven iglidur® product range.
What advantages does dryspin® offer?
- Up to 82% higher efficiency due to optimised thread angle
- Quiet and vibration-dampening due to rounded tooth geometry
- Extended service life due to asymmetry
- Customer-specific solutions for lead screw and nuts individually configurable online
- Insensitive to dirt (e.g. very advantageous in exterior areas)
- Lubrication-free (e.g. no disturbing grease in the interior)
- Tested in the igus laboratory: https://www.igus.co.uk/info/linear-guides-test-wear-dryspin
(Further iglidur® materials on request)
Higher efficiency and less wear
The patented thread geometry was developed by igus in 2016. It offers many advantages compared to conventional high helix threads:
- Larger spaces between the individual threads, resulting in an increased share of the tribologically optimised polymer content in the threads
- More wear-resistant material and higher levels of efficiency are crucial for a service life that is up to five times longer compared to conventional high helix threads.
