Our lubrication-free drylin linear systems use dry operation, which makes them maintenance-free and resistant to external influences. In addition, they run especially quietly thanks to the materials used and the special design involved. You can easily calculate the service life online in just a few steps.
Thanks to the personal choice of high-quality single parts, every linear system can be adapted to individual needs. Switching to a sliding system can reduce running operating costs and greatly improve technology, resulting in smooth operation and long service life.

profile guides

Offer a wide range of possible applications, as over 50 different profiles, linear plain bearings and linear carriages can be combined to create a ready-to-install system or a modular system.
 

Low-profile guides

drylin N low-profile guide systems are characterised by system heights of 6 to 12mm. This makes the aluminium rails with plastic carriages particularly suitable for applications in small installation spaces.
 

Rail guides

Sliding instead of rolling – this is the principle the drylin T linear rail guide is based on. Regarding connector and hole dimensions, the drylin linear rails and linear carriages are identical to conventional recirculating ball bearing systems.

Shaft guides

drylin R linear bearings utilise special wear-resistant polymers that have been specially developed for the requirements of linear technology. The dimensions are compatible with standard ball bearings.


 

Square guides

Telescopic rails

The telescopic slides consist of anodised aluminium guide rails and a sliding element made of iglidur high-performance plastics. This combination enables the telescopic rails to move quietly, hygienically and without lubrication.

Pre-load prism slides

The pre-load prism slides offer a choice of 4 preload classes and are therefore suitable for a wide range of applications. They can also be used in hygienic environments. The screw connection can be made from below or via threaded pins, which enables flexible installation.
 

Roller guide

Our roller bearings are cost-effective, cast iron housings. These enable up to 70% smoother running and easy, energy-efficient adjustment. They are also lubrication-free and quiet.


 

Measuring systems

Suitable measuring systems have been developed for every application on the basis of profile, square and low-profile guide systems. Whether for particularly flat installation spaces, on a square profile or for the standard on a drylin W rail.

FDA and EU-compliant

drylin linear guides are approved in accordance with FDA and EU directives and guarantee maximum safety for production process in the food, medical and bottling industries.


 

econ series

All econ linear plain bearings and linear carriages are 100% lubrication and maintenance-free and are manufactured cost-effectively with the igus injection moulding process. This saves time and costs compared to mechanical milling, especially in high-volume production.
 

Small installation spaces

Lubrication-free and maintenance-free drylin miniature linear guides for small installation spaces. High-quality solutions for precise movements and adjustments in the tightest of spaces in small machines and devices.

 

Robust

drylin linear guides cope with high temperatures, strong vibration and more.

Dirt-resistant

drylin linear guides can be used even in sand, swarf and dust.

Corrosion-free

Corrosion-free and media-resistant for applications under water.

Quiet

Approximately 4 times quieter than corresponding linear bearings made of metal.

Lightweight

Up to 75% lighter thanks to high-performance polymers.

Hygienic

All systems operate without external lubrication and are therefore extremely clean.
