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.

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.
