dryspin lead screw technology | Application examples
®
CNC equipment
The dryspin lead screw drives are subjected to high
®
loads in this application, as Peter Urban explains:
"When the tool mills a circle into the material, high
and overlapping forces act on the axes". Because
the machine processes a wide variety of materials,
and at very different feed speeds, it is not possible
to completely rule out the possibility of vibration from
a design point of view. In this case, according to the
experience of the Stepcraft designers, a drop of oil
helps as a damper: "Then there is an even better
running behaviour."

Cleanroom 3D printer
In this application, a precise, reliable cleanroom 3D
printer is used for processing thermoplastics. High helix
and trapezoidal lead screws with high efficiency for all
drive axes were the ultimate solution to the problem of
VIVECube - Clean Precision cleanroom capability. It was
the only suitable solution for low-abrasion linear drives
that was also cost-effective.

Actuator
Precise movement and positioning of the actuators
without regular maintenance and with the highest
accuracy, even under adverse environmental
conditions, was required. The freedom from
lubrication and maintenance does not allow dirt and
dust to adhere. ARIS uses dryspin drives from the
®
igus standard product range, and only the outer
®
geometry of the nut has been individually adjusted.
In the lead screw support block, two axial plain
bearings made of the igus high-performance polymer
®
iglidur Q ensure the absorption of high loads; at the
®
same time, the clearance of the unit can be adjusted
via the thrust bearing.

Aircraft simulator
The lead screw drives were used to control the two
throttle levers. The system worked so well that a similar
system was used to drive the speed brake lever (to control
the simulated air brakes) mounted in the same throttle
module. The products were the perfect blend of low cost,
high reliability, and very simple reverse control. The low
costs made it possible to meet the target price for the
simulated throttle valves.

Compact automation solution
An easy-to-use, high-quality automation solution was
required. Further requirements were high precision and
flexibility, reliable and high-performance components,
as well as the highest hygiene standards. Without
the use of oils or fats as lubricants, we can meet
the highest hygiene requirements with our lead screw
technology. In addition, use in dry operation saves a
large amount of cleaning and maintenance costs and
wear is also significantly reduced.

All of the main components of the mechanical movements,
such as the linear axis, plain bearings, guide systems,
etc. use igus products. Further applications from a wide
