Lead screws and Lead screw nuts
Dryspin® lead screw assemblies are engineered for precision linear motion applications requiring lubrication-free and maintenance-free operation. By combining optimized spindle geometries with tribologically enhanced polymer nuts, the system achieves efficiencies of up to 82% and delivers a service life approximately 30% longer than conventional lead screws. Performance remains consistent under varying load and speed conditions, with reduced frictional losses, minimized thermal expansion, and lower operational noise.

Frequently asked questions
A lead screw is a threaded shaft that converts rotary motion into linear motion, commonly used in linear actuators, CNC machines, and presses
The main types are:
- Acme
- Trapezoidal
- High helix
- Ball screws
Some lead screws do however ours do not. We have matching nuts that are made from self lubricating plastics so no additional lubrication is required
The main materials that we offer are stainless steel, aluminium and steel.
