dryspin® - more technical information

Higher efficiency due to optimized thread angle

Due to a flatter thread angle of about 30° in dryspin® high helix lead screws (similar to a trapezoidal thread), the applied force is efficiently converted into a translational motion. Compared with a steeper thread angle, this means a lower power loss.

Low noise and vibration dampening due to rounded tooth geometry

Due to the radius tooth design, the contact surface between the lead screw nut and the lead screw is reduced. Thereby the dryspin® lead screw nuts move without vibration, virtually noiselessly. This is because, the greater the contact of two surfaces moving against one another, the more vibrations are transmitted, which can be perceived as a rattle or squeak. The rounded teeth minimize this effect and the thread moves without lubrication and with low noise.

Extended service life due to asymmetry

Due to the larger distances between the individual dryspin® thread turns, the thread ideally matches the properties of the lubrication-free igus® high performance polymers. The proportion of the tribologically optimized polymer in the thread turns can be extended by a factor of 1.3 for all sizes. More wear resistant material and higher levels of efficiency are crucial for up to 5 times longer service life of standard geometries. The larger the lead screw diameter, the stronger the impact of this effect. Backlash can be minimized life-long by the use of dryspin® zero-backlash threaded nuts with integrated spring pretension.
