Lead screw assemblies from a single source for the automotive industry

dryspin® lead screws and nuts, now competitively priced for the automotive industry, are ideal for actuating various applications, such as windows, seats and air dams. igus® also has the ability to PPAP parts.  We use our iglide® materials - which are tribologically-optimized polymer blends that consist of base materials for wear resistance, reinforcing fibers for high forces, and solid lubricants that eliminate the need for external grease - to create the nuts. These self-lubricating components resist dirt and corrosion and are maintenance-free. Plus, dryspin® lead screw assemblies help reduce the weight of your vehicle for greater fuel efficiency and reduce squeaking, rattling, and other noises, allowing for a more comfortable ride with fewer distractions.  We offer conventional trapezoidal and ACME lead screws as well as proprietary dryspin® high helix lead screws with a flatter thread angle to optimize efficiency. Additionally, low-fogging nut materials are available to reduce outgassing.
