drylin^® linear technology news – 2023

Low-cost single bearing zinc die-cast housing for horizontal and vertical installation positions. Our drylin® W linear plain bearing housings with individual clearance adjustment are made with zinc die-casting. The linear housings have not only easy clearance adjustment requiring only a standard 1.5mm Allen key, but also a long service life thanks to liners made of iglidur® J200.

Low-cost single bearing zinc die-cast housing for horizontal and vertical installation positions. Our drylin® W single bearing housings with spring pre-load give you two different pre-load classes to choose from. drylin® single-bearing housings feature precisely controlled adjustment without any stick-slip effect.They are also lightweight and are made of 16g zinc die-casting and 7g aluminium. 

For quick, precise NT-35 and NT-60 telescopic rail assembly, we offer the NTKA and NTKB end caps. These end caps feature a low-profile design to cover the extendable rail and a high design to cover the entire front of the NT.They not only provide visual cover at the front of your telescopic rails, but also have a rounded edge protection geometry. They are also entirely recycled and made of the iglidur® ECO P polymer.

Just enter your requirements and receive telescopic slide configurations to suit your needs – partially extended, fully extended, or over-extended.

Econ linear carriage made of igus® iglidur® RN403 polymer. The first solid-plastic PFAS-free carriage for the drylin® W linear system's compact 1030 installation size. The monoblock shape makes installation extremely simple. The choice is yours: simple handling – monoblock, defined displacement force – monoblock with pretension and defined stopping points – monoblock with locking ball.

Lightweight thanks to plastic and aluminium. Robust linear rails. The carriage is 28% narrower, 12% flatter, and 70% lighter than the WW-06-20-06 carriage.

drylin® W T-series linear slides for quick assembly. Suitable double rails made of black anodised aluminium. Anti-reflective surfaces for reduced light reflection. The carriage is 28% narrower, 12% flatter, and 70% lighter than the WW-06-20-06 carriage.

drylin® linear plain bearings according to the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) for supported round shafts.

Easy changeover to plain bearing technology thanks to dimensions that comply with the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS). Large product range of matching round shafts, including custom machining.

The new hygienic design study is a clean system with FDA-compliant and EU10/2011-compliant components. It has the same dimensions as recirculating ball bearing guides and is very easy to clean.

drylin® W linear carriages simplify the change from recirculating ball bearing systems to a guide system. Now for the first time in areas where stainless steel is required.

In addition to the covers for drylin® W rails, there are now end caps for all installation size 10 drylin® W double rails.

Areas where stainless steel is required by legal regulations as well as resistance to corrosion and media.

drylin® T linear carriages in four sizes with integrated manual clamp. The clearance adjustment is made directly on the carriage.

Users can choose between ready-to-install linear systems and variable individual components.
 

The drylin® W linear system can be used to implement ideas and develop innovative products. Be inspired by drylin® W.
