ACME lead screw systems offer a cost-effective, high-load alternative to ball screws for converting rotary motion into linear travel. Developed over 200 years ago, these trapezoidal screws are ideal for frequent, low-speed positioning and benefit significantly from igus’s high-performance triboplastic nuts. These plastic components operate without external lubrication, providing resistance to corrosion, dirt, and vibrations while outperforming traditional bronze alternatives. Read this white paper to learn more about the benefits of igus plastics for ACME lead screw assemblies.
