Maintenance-free linear systems deliver longer life where expensive alternatives fail

DryLin® linear bearings, guides and slide tables are designed to run dry, without the need for the messy lubricants, costly maintenance, or downtime typically associated with re-circulating ball bearing systems. The DryLin® range is completely resistant to dirt, dust and chemicals and can even handle underwater applications.

igus® performs over 2,500 tests per year on hundreds of polymer materials specifically formulated for maintenance-free operation without lubrication. The igus®-developed polymers, iglide® J, iglide® J200 and iglide® T500 are typically used as plastic replaceable liners for the DryLin® range due to their excellent wear properties and low coefficients of friction.

DryLin® is divided into 5 main groups: DryLin® T guide rails, DryLin® N low profile slides , DryLin® W guides, DryLin® R linear bearings, DryLin® S shafting and DryLin® slide tables. We also manufacture a range of pillow block bearings. You can find more information under the Product Highlights section below.

DryLin® linear bearings and guides are being used in applications and industries as diverse as the marine industry, food and packaging, medical device manufacturing, woodworking, material handling, pick-and-place robots; and high-speed printers. View application examples.
