Sliding screw drives are less susceptible to dirt than ball screws. However, dirt should of course not get stuck on the spindle. When dirt works its way into the nut, wear usually increases. In combination with lubrication, the dirt particles can combine with the lubricant and create a “grinding paste”.
Ideally, the spindle is completely protected with a bellows or some other constructive measure.
For applications in which this is not possible for reasons of installation space or costs, the use of a wiper for trapezoidal thread spindles is a conceivable alternative.
