Lead Screw-Driven Actuators with Shafts: SHT/SHTP

The drylin® SHT line of lead screw-driven actuators are guided by precision ground support shafts, available in multiple aluminum and steel alloys.  Unlike our SLW line of linear screw-driven actuators, the SHT products are available from size 8mm shaft diameter, to the large high-capacity 30/40/50mm shafts.  From the standard, lightweight machined aluminum housings, to the highly corrosion and resistant 300-series stainless the SHT series offers high performance.  The shaft guides are clean and self-lubricating, and allow dirt and debirs to apss through the system without build up.  The SHT products also offer a complete configurator, allowing customers to add machined lead screw features, accessories like motors, as well as instantly get a 2D drawing and a 3D model, and the ability to order online.

Benefits:

  • Lower cost than ball bearing actuators
  • Dry-running self-lubricating bearings and lead screw nuts
  • Shaft guides allow dirt to fall away form the system easily
  • Multiple shaft materials form low weight aluminum, to deflection-resistant steel and stainless alloys
  • Various lead screw leads available
  • Accessories like motors, hand wheels, sensors and more

Application examples

Bending test device

Test tool ready for series production

With this device it is possible to test the quality of welds. A drylin HTS linear unit is used here as standard in the igus drive technology, which enables the adjustment of a bending punch. Bending samples with a maximum force of up to 5,000 N are thus conceivable. The company "Munsch Kunststoff-Schweißtechnik GmbH" relies on a complete solution with electric drive in the form of a gear motor.

Industrial trucks with special tasks

Jungheinrich AG, manufacturer of industrial trucks, has developed a low-lift truck for a large Scandinavian dairy that collects trolleys that can be inserted into each other in the dairy. The aim is to bring the trolleys to the feeding point of a washing plant. Instead of two conventional forks for the collection of pallets, only one fork is used here. It is controlled by a specially developed multifunction controller.
