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