Pre-loaded prism slides / dovetail design from igus®
The lubrication-free drylin® N pre-load prism slides offer a guaranteed firm hold. The pre-load for all linear carriages can be freely selected from four classes. This allows precisely controlled adjustment without any stick-slip effect. Pre-load class selection allows defined selection of displacement forces, which remain constant throughout the service life, and enables the carriage to hold the load in place.The components of the drylin® pre-load prism slide

Application examples
drylin® N low-profile guide systems are deployed particularly in places where the installation spaces are small while demands are high. The compact but tough design meets the highest demands with regard to precision and flexibility. The various widths for the guides and the wide range of guide carriages provide a great variety of application options.
drylin® N in a 3D printer
Lightweight, low-profile and lubrication-free
The LOV3 delta 3D printer from PEL3O has been designed for both commercial and private use. The goal here was to address the creative mind. The 3D printer from PEL3O operates quickly and reliably with drylin® N, without the need for maintenance.
drylin® N for a 3D camera
Simple and precise
Two conventional cameras are set up at an angle on a low-profile guide system to create a three-dimensional image. This trick renders an expensive 3D camera unnecessary. For this to work properly, the slight difference in the alignment of the cameras must remain identical at all times. This is made possible with a drylin® N low-profile guide system.
drylin® N on packaging machine for bottles
No lubrication means no soiling – completely hygienic!
In this packaging machine, a gripper lifts and packages bottles. The fingers of the gripper are moved by means of a low-profile guide system. No soiling by lubricants such as oils or greases occur at this critical point in the machine. For this reason, there was only one solution – drylin® N.
drylin® N in testing and sorting plant
Highest demands on hygiene in food technology
By means of a vacuum gripper, test parts are removed, measured and taken to various magazines. The removal unit is moved along the X-Y axis using the space-saving and cost-saving drylin® N low-profile guide system. The robust TK-04 guide system takes on vertical guidance.
