drygear gear and gearbox technology product innovations

This Apiro® trapezoidal lead screw is built for compact, self locking lane adjustment in automation and packaging equipment. With a 4:1 ratio, up to 2.5 Nm in continuous operation, and grease-free dry operation, it is a strong fit for systems that need efficient format adjustment with less maintenance and less downtime.

This iglide® A500 gear is designed for applications that need reliable gear performance in high temperatures, chemically demanding environments, and grease-free operation. It offers temperature resistance from -100°C to +250°C, strong chemical resistance, and is positioned on the news page as a higher performance option that is compliant with EU 10/2011.

This aluminum profile with plastic gear rack components is designed for long travel lengths with quiet, cost effective rack and pinion movement. The black anodized aluminum profile allows individual rack elements to be replaced instead of the full assembly, and igus reports a service life of more than 2,000 hours at 2.5 Nm and 65 rpm in testing.

This drygear® worm gearbox is a ready to install solution for precise manual adjustment and stable component positioning. The ball bearing mounted design, handwheel, and manual clamping mechanism support smooth operation, while the gearbox can handle up to 1,000 N axial load and is available in multiple sizes for flexible integration.

This drygear® worm gearbox combines a handwheel, hand clamp, and position indicator for precise manual adjustment and repeatable positioning. Built as a ready to install solution, it supports up to 56 Nm of torque in grease-free dry operation, making it a strong fit for applications that need accurate adjustment without added installation effort.

This drygear® universal joint is made for transmitting rotary motion between gearboxes in modular adjustment systems. It supports up to 12 Nm of permissible torque, uses stainless steel for corrosion resistance, and is well suited for applications that see regular wet cleaning or need a durable connection between shafts, including the new Ø12 mm size highlighted on the news page.
