Hygienic lead screws & nuts ideal for the medical industry

Lead screw assemblies used in medical lab equipment need to meet strict performance and hygienic requirements. Most metallic lead screws and nuts require lubricating grease to be regularly applied, making them unsuitable for such applications. dryspin® lead screw assemblies, on the other hand, have built-in solid lubricants that allow for consistent, reliable operation without the need for grease or other external lubricants that can cause contamination. dryspin lead screw assemblies are also vibration damping, which reduces noise during operation and ultimately improves patient comfort, especially in console adjustments and other patient-facing medical furniture & equipment.

Our lead screw configurator is available to help customize and request a quote for your lead screw assembly in 20 minutes or less, and offers accurate service life estimates based on application requirements. A number of different lead screw nut materials are available, including FDA-compliant materials. We can even 3D print custom lead screw nuts with our wear-resistant printing materials for applications requiring more specialized components.
