Trapezoidal thread and ACME thread

Lead screws are machine elements that are ideal for converting a rotational movement into a translational one. But what exactly is the difference between the European trapezoidal threads and the American ACME threads? Isn't that the same thing?

More hygiene thanks to lubrication-free threads

Metallic lead screw nuts must be lubricated regularly. Dust and dirt particles adhere and there is significantly higher wear. The dryspin® lead screw technology is 100 % lubrication- and maintenance-free and therefore ideally suited for use in hygiene-sensitive areas.

The dryspin® technology

High efficiency and low wear
The patented dryspin high helix thread technology was developed by igus in 2015 and offers numerous advantages compared to conventional high helix threads. Due to the flat thread angle, it efficiently converts the force introduced into a linear movement. With specifications and geometries matched to the plastic nut and spindles, dryspin provides an even longer service life and more efficiency for high helix threads. Due to the rounded tooth geometry, the contact area between lead screw and nut is reduced, and the lead systems operate quietly and without vibration under load.

The larger spaces between the individual dryspin threads result in a higher share (factor 1.3) of tribologically optimised polymer in the threads. More wear-resistant material and higher levels of efficiency are crucial for a service life that is up to five times longer compared to conventional high helix threads.

You can also use our Processing service - We manufacture ready-to-install spindle according to your requirements. For this, use our lead screw configurator or send us a drawing. We will then provide a quotation.

Sustainability in lead screw technology

For our screw drives you need not a single drop of lubricating oil. This benefits not only our users, but also the environment. Our tribologically optimised materials also generate less abrasion, which means less energy is needed.
