Ball screw drive vs dryspin lead screw drive

Maintenance-free even with short strokes

Support of high loads

Can a plastic threaded nut withstand high static loads?

Cost down

How can I reduce the acquisition costs by 61.5 %?

Ball screw drives

  • Regular lubrication and maintenance required
  • Faster susceptibility to corrosion
  • High weight
  • Running noise
  • Not well suited for short strokes

Advantages and disadvantages

dryspin® lead screws

  • OEM applications possible due to design flexibility, e.g. for small installation space
  • Very flexible adjustment options for lead
  • spindle diameter and threaded nut design
  • More favourable alternative
  • No external lubrication necessary
  • Smooth running
  • Dirt-resistant, robust and corrosion-free
  • Insensitive to static loads
  • Lower weight
  • Variety of materials: heavy duty, high temperature or FDA approval
  • Predictable service life

Recirculating ball bearing

  • High precision, hardly any axial or radial play
  • Low coefficient of friction
  • Industry with high dynamic loads
  • Very high efficiency up to 100
  • Hardly any dimensional flexibility
  • Recirculating ball bearing and guideway assemblies with an external return system cause audible noise
  • Sensitive to high static loads due to point contact of the balls
  • Relatively high weight
