SHT-HYD hygienic design study

... FDA-compliant adjustment ...

The drylin® drive technology meets various challenges. We continue to research into new solutions for specific customer requirements. This is how our new study on the SHT lead screw linear module in the hygienic design version was created. The goal: a linear module that meets the highest hygiene standards and is FDA-compliant.

Discover the details of the study and what makes the individual components of this linear axis so special.

Technical Govie

Structure

The assembly of the linear module consists of two trusses, a flushable lead screw nut, a dryspin® stainless-steel lead screw (Ds18x4) and EWMS AISI 316Ti Ø20mm guide shafts. Find out what makes our trusses and lead screw nut so special.

Shaft end supports

Shaft end supports The truss assembly consists of two housing halves. They are sealed with FDA-compliant silicone and screwed together with four hygienic screws.

Two holes allow the trusses to be fixed to your application. We recommend using hygienic screws and nuts here as well to completely seal the holes and prevent dirt deposits.

The rotating lead screw and shafts are sealed with specially configured wiper seals consisting of FDA-compliant HPU.

Lead screw nut

Lead screw nut The installed lead screw nut has a patented design and is made of FDA-compliant plain-bearing plastic. It is flushable and features generous flushing grooves to prevent germ formation between the thread and the nut. The sliding guide system on the shafts can also be flushed.

Due to the defined radii of the lead screw nuts, at least R3 is achieved. In addition, the inclines allow for better drainage of liquids and easier cleaning.

There are also through holes on the left- and right-hand sides for your connection. For this, we recommend hygienic screw connections.
