Plastics experts once again expand their range of screw nuts and introduce maintenance-free, high-performance engineering plastics iglidur E7
Safe, fast and quiet adjustments, these are the requirements of the screw module. For this reason, igus has introduced a new high-performance material iglidur E7 for trapezoidal threads and large pitch threads, further expanding its range of screw nuts. High-performance materials feature smooth low-vibration operation at low loads and high speeds. With the right materials and shapes, igus's new screw nut and dryspin patented large pitch thread technology enable optimum linear drive.
In everyday life, large pitch threads and trapezoidal thread screws are widely used in applications requiring precise adjustments such as camera lenses and train doors. Screw units are usually composed of two parts, a lead screw and a corresponding nut. Screw nuts made of common engineering plastics or other metal substitutes are always easy to reach their limits, generating vibration and noise. For this reason, sports plastics expert igus added to its nut series for large-pitch and trapezoidal thread screws. The material iglidur E7, the nut made of it is designed for low load and high speed applications in compact installation spaces, such as fully automatic coffee machines, 3D printers, and even laboratory technology.
Soft material for high-speed silent operation
The new screw nut material iglidur E7 is a soft, high-performance engineering plastic with a solid lubricant that eliminates the need for external lubrication such as oil and grease. The new material also reduces noise and acts as a damping device, and Iglidur E7 and igus standard screw nut material internal wear comparison test shows that the screw is made of iglidur E7 material under the load of 135 rpm and 100 Newtons per minute. The wear resistance of the nut on the large pitch thread screw is increased by 4 times, and the wear resistance on the trapezoidal thread screw is increased by 19 times.
Dryspin patented technology for greater efficiency
In addition to the screw nut made of high-performance plastic, igus also introduced the 'dryspin', a patented optimized version of the large-pitch threaded screw series that is matched with the igus screw nut. dryspin technology Features flat side angles, asymmetrical geometry and scalloped surfaces. These ensure a more efficient low-friction wipe operation. Thanks to igus's convenient online tool 'screw module expert', users only need a few clicks The applicable linear drive with nut can be configured and ordered online.
