  3. The new floating bearing plastic lead screw support blocks
Plastic lead screw support blocks

Product range expansion to include dryspin® floating bearing plastic lead screw support blocks

Latest design study

This study combines reinforced plastic blocks with a metallic clamping ring and iglidur® plain bearings for the fixed-bearing version and only the plastic blocks with an iglidur® special slider for the floating-bearing version. They have 1:1 connection dimensions as metallic lead screw support blocks. In addition, they are up to 60% more cost-effective and 80% lighter compared to conventional metal lead screw support blocks. The new floating bearing plastic lead screw support blocks in four dimensions are presented.

Higher efficiency, longer service life

This is what dryspin® technology can do

The dryspin high helix thread technology was developed by igus in 2013 and offers numerous advantages compared to conventional high helix threads. Due to the flat thread angle, it efficiently converts the force introduced into a translational movement. With specifications and geometries matched to the plastic nut and spindles, dryspin provides an even longer service life and more efficiency for high helix threads. Due to the rounded tooth geometry, the contact area between lead screw and nut is reduced, and the lead systems operate quietly and without vibration under load.
 
The larger spaces between the individual dryspin threads result in a higher proportion (factor 1.3) of tribologically optimised polymer 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.
