Igus expands leadscrew range with iglidur E7 nuts
Safe, fast and quiet adjustment are the essential requirements for leadscrew modules. With this in mind, Igus has expanded its range of leadscrew nuts with the material iglidur E7 for trapezoidal and high helix leadscrews. This is characterised by its smooth and low-vibration operation with low loads and high speed.
“In everyday life, linear drives can be found everywhere, from camera slides to train doors, wherever precise adjustment is required,” says Robert Dumayne, dry-tech director at Igus. “Leadscrew units traditionally consist of two components: the leadscrew and the associated nut. At high adjustment speeds, leadscrew nuts made of standard plastics or metallic alternatives often reach their design limits. The consequences of which are unwelcome vibration and noise.”
