drylin linear technology

Lubrication- and maintenance-free linear guides

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.

Hygienic

All systems operate without additional lubrication and are therefore very clean

Our linear technology solutions for you

FDA-compliant

FDA- and EU-compliant

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

  • FDA-compliant linear technology
    • econ series linear technology

    econ series

    All econ linear plain bearings and carriages are 100% lubrication-free and maintenance-free and are manufactured cost-effectively using the igus injection moulding process. In contrast to machine milling, this saves time and costs, especially in high-volume production.

    • Linear technology for small installation space

    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.

  • Discover small installation spaces
    • PTFE-free

    PTFE-free and PFAS-tested linear technology

    PTFE-free and PFAS-tested linear technology does not have to be a cost factor. Our carriages made of iglidur materials offer an economical, safe and FDA-compliant solution for a wide range of applications.

  • PTFE-free linear technology
    • Anti-reflect

    Anti-reflective linear technology

    The drylin anti-reflective linear technology with black surfaces reduces light reflections to a minimum and is ideal for precise, light-sensitive applications.

  • Anti-reflective linear technology

    • Versatile and flexible linear systems

    drylin W profile guides

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

    Low-profile guides

    Low-profile guide systems
    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.

    drylin T

    Rail guides

    Sliding instead of rolling - the drylin T linear rail guide is based on this principle. The connection and drilling dimensions of the drylin linear rails and linear carriages are identical to the commercially available recirculating ball bearing versions.

    Round shaft guides

    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 bushings.

    Square guides

    Square guides

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

    Telescopic rails

    Telescopic rails

    The telescopic rails consist of anodised aluminium guide rails and a sliding element made of iglidur high-performance plastics. This combination enables quiet, hygienic and dry-operating movement of the telescopic rails.

    Pre-load prism slide

    Pre-load prism slides
    The pre-load prism slides offer a choice of four pre-load 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 a threaded pin, which enables flexible installation.
