igus’ dryspin lead-screw assemblies are now available as a single-source solution for the automotive industry.
In today’s vehicles, advanced linear motion components play a critical role in providing convenience and safety to drivers. Lead-screw assemblies are used extensively wherever automotive parts need to be opened, closed, lifted, or lowered. Typical uses include seats, doors, sunroofs, steering columns, and center consoles.
“Our dryspin lead-screw assemblies offer precise and smooth movement as well as a high number of life cycles. They’re ideal for actuating various automotive applications, such as seats, windows, and air dams,” said Sebastian Bloechl, Head of Automotive dry-tech North America at igus, Inc. “Our lead-screw nuts are made of our high-performance iglide material, a tribologically-optimized polymer engineered to resist wear and eliminate the need for external lubrication.”
The igus self-lubricating components resist dirt and corrosion and are maintenance-free. In addition, dryspin lead-screw assemblies help reduce the vehicle weight for greater fuel efficiency and reduce squeaking, rattling, and other noises, allowing for a more comfortable ride with fewer distractions.
igus offers trapezoidal and ACME lead screws, as well as a proprietary high helix design with a flatter thread angle, to optimize efficiency. Low-fogging nut materials are also available to reduce outgassing.
“Our lead-screw assemblies offer up to 25% less wear and up to 30% longer service life over conventional lead screws thanks to our unique high helix lead screw technology,” said Nick Isabella, dryspin screw drive Product Specialist at igus, Inc.
