Save 100% of lubricants


Lubrication is indispensable for metal lead screw nuts, since without it they will rust and deform during use. Our drylin® plastic lead screw nuts do not require a single drop of lubrication. Our lead screw technology scores points for quiet running because they do not have to overcome the resistance of the lubricant and start up with a much lower breakaway torque.
Maintenance-free dry operation thanks to drylin lead screw technology
drylin® lead screw drives are free of lubricants
Corrosion-free drylin® plastic lead screw nuts
 
 
 


Corrosion? No thank you!

Plastic lead screw nuts have an important advantage over those made of metal: they are entirely corrosion-resistant. Even in corrosive environments, drylin lead screw drives run smoothly and have a long service life – entirely without maintenance.
Corrosion-free use under extreme weather conditions


 
Save up to 88% weight


Metal lead screw nuts are robust – and heavy. drylin polymer lead screw nuts offer the perfect alternative for many applications because they are lightweight, reliable and durable. drylin lead screw drives are often used in the automotive and rail industries. Wherever low weight is important, our light, polymer lead screw nuts are perfect.
drylin lead screw technology fulfils stringent weight requirements
Weight saving of up to 50%
30% longer service life with dryspin® technology
 


 
Up to 30% longer service life


The asymmetrical threads  of the dryspin technology developed by us increase service life by up to 30%, and the flat flank angle increases efficiency. The contact area between lead screw and nut is reduced, and the lead screw systems operate quietly and without vibration under load.
dryspin technology can do more

Corrosion-free drylin® lead screw drives
 
 
 

Up to 50.9%  more cost-effective than comparable metal solutions


Our plastic lead screw nuts distinguish themselves from their metallic counterparts not only with their technical advantages, such as elimination of lubrication and freedom from rust, but also in price (they cost about 50% less).
drylin lead screw technology has a convincing cost comparison

Do you need other cost comparisons for lead screw systems made of plastic or metal to determine your savings potential? We would be happy to advise you.  It's our job!

Knorr-Bremse GmbH, Division IFE

"The initial task was to technologically improve a boarding system for rail vehicles," says Johann Wilflinger, System Development Group Leader at IFE's Kematen/Ybbs location in Austria. "The retractable step was to work even more reliably, but cost less. “

No lubrication necessary

 
Our lead screw drives require not a drop of lubricating oil. Not only our users, but also the environment profit from this. In addition, our tribologically optimised materials produce less abrasion, as a result of which less energy is needed.
