Intelligent safety in roller coasters

dryspin® lead screw technology scores highly in the hydraulic locking system for safety bars

Profile

  • What was needed: a dryspin® lead screw nut made of iglidur® J with matching dryspin® threaded spindle
  • Requirements: Over one million cycles, vibration damping, strength, compact design, lubrication and maintenance-free, low abrasion
  • Industry: Amusement rides
  • Success for the customer: "Quite simply, igus® fulfilled all our requirements in terms of validation with its lead screw technology. As already mentioned, one of our customers' key requirements during development was improved service life. We applied twelve million load cycles to the spindle assembly of the HLU LE-X (E) and it lasted. That convinced us. What's more, igus® provided us with calculations and the relevant values throughout." - Erik Stratmann, Product Manager HAWE
