Comparison of a worn and a working bushing, highlighting lower costs and longer service life.

Wherever metal rubs against metal,regular lubrication is essential. The associated costs for lubricants, maintenance and labour quickly add up to millions. Anyone who has ever experienced the consequences of inadequate lubrication knows how costly it can be. igus® offers a solution: lubrication-free linear technology that can help you reduce these costs and downtime.

The company Hartmann Rico from the Czech Republic builds machines for the production of surgical swabs. The dusty environment is a high requirement for metal linear ball bearings. In order to extend the service life of the system, the engineers have therefore switched to polymer linear plain bushings from the drylin® R series

The South Korean start-up company MOBINN , which specialises in self-guiding robots, focuses on the development of robots that can pick up deliveries and deliver them to a predefined destination. The transport guide inside the robot uses drylin® N, which prevents vibrations, shocks and friction while reducing the overall weight of the robot.

What are the advantages of drylin®?

Our lubrication-free drylin® linear systems run in dry operation and are therefore maintenance-free and insensitive to external influences such as dust or dirt. Thanks to the self-lubricating effect of the iglidur® materials, maintenance can be reduced to a minimum.

They also run particularly quietly thanks to their special design. The service life can be conveniently calculated online in just a few steps in our configurators.

With the personalised selection of high-quality individual parts, each linear system can be adapted to individual requirements.

Switching to a gliding system can reduce ongoing operating costs and achieve significant technical improvements that contribute to trouble-free operation and a high service life.
