drylin linear technology

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.

Round shafts
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

drylin Q square guides enable an extremely flexible design. There are various pillow block types, including solid plastic bearings and adjustable complete housings with and without manual clamp, which can be customised.

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 designed according to FDA and EU guideline and guarantee maximum safety for the 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.
