Adam Sanjurgo talks dryspin®

dryspin® is the range of high helix threads designed and manufactured by igus®, these are also known as steep threads or multi-start lead screws. dryspin® has been specifically engineered for optimum lifetime in fast screw applications. This product range still offers the key advantages for which igus® is well known, such as maintenance-free and lubrication-free use, predictable lifetime, ex-stock, corrosion resistance, FDA compliance with resistance to dirt, dust and other media such as chemicals.

Single core vs multi-core motor cables for high-performance spindles

Motor cables more or less always have the same structure. Depending on requirements, single core or multicore motor cables are used. Both types of cables are suitable for high loads. So, what is the difference?
Spindle drives in processing and machine tools are becoming increasingly larger and more demanding in terms of performance and thus energy supply. As a result, larger cable cross-sections and thicker motor cables are required. To that end, however, the cables and the energy chain no longer fit into the existing installation space of the machine. The cables need to change.
