How can unwanted contamination be avoided in laboratories?

Metal lead screw nuts are still the standard in medical technology. However, most of them require regular lubrication and maintenance, which means that dust and dirt particles can stick to the grease used. This leads to considerable contamination and significantly higher wear compared to a dry-running system. In addition, the metal lead screw nuts can corrode quickly in damp environments.
 
The lubrication-free and maintenance-free drylin lead screw technology is used in medical technology and has several decisive advantages. They are absolutely free from lubrication and maintenance and also work reliably in corrosive environments.

This is how igus lead screw technology can reduce costs in rehabilitation devices.

Metal lead screw nuts are more expensive to purchase than plastic ones. By replacing your metal lead screw nuts with dryspin technology with the same connection dimensions, you can save up to 50.9% in acquisition costs. Tests have shown that the wear rate is up to 25% lower and service life increases by 30%.
