No chance for corrosion & chemicals

25% less wear

Stainless steel lead screws are the standard material for our lead screws. In combination with our drylin lead screw nuts, there is 100% freedom from corrosion. Tests show that wear is reduced by up to 25%. And we can also find a suitable material for your application in extreme environmental conditions. Our experts offer the solution for your specific application.

With specifications and shapes matching the polymer nut and lead screw, dryspin provides up to 30% longer service life and efficiency for high helix threads. Due to the rounded tooth geometry, the contact area between lead screw and nut is reduced, and the lead systems operate quietly and without vibration under load.

Would you like more information about stainless steel lead screws or do you need an individual consultation? Our experts will be happy to get in touch with you.

30% longer service life

But not only wear and tear can be reduced. With specifications and shapes matching the polymer nut and lead screw, dryspin provides up to 30% longer service life and efficiency for high helix threads. The rounded tooth geometry reduces the contact area between lead screw and nut, allowing the lead screw drives to operate quietly and without vibration under load.

Our manufacturing methods for drylin® stainless steel lead screws


Thread rolling - our standard

A workpiece is placed centrally between two tools with profile. They rotate simultaneously, the thread is rolled into the surface of the raw material by cold forming. The thread profile is transferred to the workpiece by stress and rotation. The thread is ready.

More about thread rolling

Thread whirling - for special sizes

Thread whirling for special sizes requires only one tool. It is ring-shaped and is clamped around the appropriate workpiece. This rotates very slowly, while the whirling tool rotates outside at very high speed. The thread is produced by inward facing cutting bits.
