Easy going: The lightweight Easy aluminum lead screw masters perfect movement - even in adverse conditions
Materials help determine progress, even with screw drives. Easy is a real lightweight. The spindle unit consists of a rolled aluminium spindle with a resistant anti-friction coating (hard anodizing) and a nut made of high-performance technopolymer. The lightweight threaded spindles achieve efficiencies of over 80 % and are preferred for use in climatically induced, extreme temperature fluctuations and in harsh environments. Thanks to the special thread geometry, the spindle unit is relatively insensitive to dirt and tilting moments. The special profile prevents the nut from jamming.
The light metal aluminium with a density of 2.7 g per cm³ has a very high strength despite its low weight and is characterized by many positive material properties. The enthusiasm is great. One meter of Easy 16 mm x 90 mm threaded spindle weighs 0.533 kg, whereas one meter of the same spindle in steel would weigh 1.549 kg.
The aluminium threads, which have already been massively strengthened by thread rolling, are given an even more resistant surface by further refining the outer layer or hard anodizing. This results in an additional reduction in the coefficient of friction and very good sliding properties. These values and the protection against corrosion are the main reasons for a long service life.
Easy light threaded spindles are the preferred choice for increased loads due to climatic temperature fluctuations, harsh environmental conditions such as contamination, limited lubrication options and tilting moments.
