Linear technology
The dryspin lead screw technology was developed and patented in 2016 by the drylin lead screw technology development team. Particular emphasis was placed on increasing service life and improving efficiency. The dryspin product portfolio includes high-helix lead screws made of stainless steel or aluminium and the matching lead screw nuts made of igus high-performance polymers.
In this post we will go into more detail about the threadability or number of threads. What do the two terms actually stand for and what is their significance for my application? Single-start lead screws, as the name suggests, consist of only one single thread pitch (single start). In other words, by pitch …
In the early days of Covid-19, our daily companion today, there was great uncertainty. In the health care system in particular, people were afraid that there were not enough ventilators. At that time, we at igus were thinking intensively about how we could provide support here, in a cost-sensitive manner. Especially as our lubrication-free high-performance […]
Linear axes and linear modules can be driven differently. Which system is the right one for me – lead screw drive or toothed belt drive?
Have you have always asked yourself: “How do I attach our motor to an igus linear axis?” No? We’ll answer it anyway. igus is a manufacturer of linear axes. The mechanical transmission of the drive forces is carried out by a toothed belt or a lead screw in combination with our tribologically optimised high-performance polymers. […]
