Five different materials for drive nuts to enable the right product for any application - the motion plastics specialist igus promises this and shows its full range at the EMO in Milan. This includes nuts for trapezoidal and high helix thread, in cylindrical design or with various flange options. The matching lead screws that users can combine to the desired length is also offered by igus in steel, stainless steel or aluminium. Thus adjustments of all kinds can be easily made. Of most interest to the machine tool industry are the materials iglidur W300 and iglidur J350 and the low cost material iglidur R.

Different needs require different materials
The endurance runner iglidur W300 is characterised by its high load capacity and high wear resistance. It retains its features even in abrasive environments and is therefore suitable for use in the interior of machine tools. iglidur J350 is recommended for the industry because of its temperature resistance up to 150 degrees Celsius. In combination with lead screws made of steel, the material also achieves low friction and guarantees a long service life.

'Safe use with simultaneous cost optimisation.' The material iglidur R shows that igus can also keep the promise of the motto for the EMO. The low-cost option of the drylin screw drive combines together durability, freedom from lubrication and an attractive price.

Like all plastics from igus, drylin screw drives have integrated solid lubricants, thus enabling a lifelong operation without external lubrication. Lead screw and nut thus remain dry during operation, whereby no dirt can stick on them. Thus, the drylin screw drives are very well suited for use in machine tools. Using the online configurator of the drylin threaded nuts, users can find the right product:
