igus explains carrying capacity for linear-motion axis

Here Matt Mowry, product manager for igus DryLin products, explains DryLin SD leadscrew and leadscrew-nut setups - linear-motion products that are particularly suitable for linear packaging-machinery axes. Shot at the recent PackExpo in Las Vegas, this video also shows acme, trapezoidal, and DrySpin leadscrew geometries to decrease wear while boosting efficiency. Mowry goes on to explain how that relates to load-carrying capacity. The igus leadscrews themselves come in a range of materials, and samples are available as well.
