Areas of application for dryspin® lead screw technology
Screw drives are machine elements that convert a rotary motion into a translational motion. dryspin® screw drives are always based on self-lubricating plastic nuts and therefore enable lifelong operation without external lubrication.
The technology of dryspin® lead screws is based on the principle of lubrication-free linear technology. The specifications and geometries of the lead screws, which are matched to the plastic nut and threaded spindle, and the unique dryspin® technology guarantee an even higher service life and efficiency.
