    The alternative to conventional trapezoidal lead screws

    More operating smoothness and less vibrations
    The new high helix thread sizes DS10x3LH, DS14x4, and DS18x4 are ideally suited as an alternative to the trapezoidal lead screws of the same dimensions.

    ► Quiet and vibration-free operation thanks to rounded teeth
    ► Longer service life due to asymmetry
    ► Higher efficiency thanks to optimised flank angles
    ► 100% corrosion-free
    ► Self-locking
    ► And many other benefits

    Higher efficiency, longer service life

    dryspin technology

    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.
