Igus' family of DryLin Linear Bearings And Guide Systems Provides Design Freedom and Flexibility

Igus Inc., developer of Energy Chain Systems, Chainflex continuous-flex cables and iglide plastic bearings, offers a maintenance-free alternative to re-circulating ball bearings and cumbersome, expensive linear guides. DryLin linear bearings and guide systems are wear-resistant, self-lubricating, contamination and corrosion-free and have a low coefficient of friction. Igus manufactures four styles of linear guide systems, including DryLin T, DryLin N, DryLin W and DryLin linear slide tables. DryLin T consists of a hard-anodized aluminum, T-shaped rail, an adjustable carriage made of clear-anodized aluminum and gliding elements made from igus' iglide J polymer material blend, to form a lightweight unit. DryLin T can be used in both automation and material handling applications, and due to its corrosion-resistant, lubrication-free features, is ideal for food, medical and clean room technologies.
