Drylin® linear bearings, guide tables and positioning tables are self-lubricating, maintenance-free plastic linear bearings and slides in inch and metric sizes, available from stock with no minimum order. In many applications, they are an ideal replacement for linear ball bearings.

Igus offers four styles of linear guide systems, including DryLin T, DryLin N, DryLin W and DryLin linear slide tables. DryLin T was developed for the most diverse, extreme environments. DryLin N posses an extremely small mounting height and width for those space-restricted hard to reach applications, while DryLin W has a very low clearance and is available in multiple rail configurations to provide more design options. In addition, igus offers DryLin R linear bearings, which compensate for misalignment errors and are a weight-saving alternative to ball bearings.

DryLin is a maintenance-free alternative to re-circulating ball bearings and cumbersome, expensive linear guides. With its self-lubricating, maintenance-free properties, DryLin is ideal for applications where contaminants are present, wash down/submerged environments or for short-stroke, high frequency motions. Visit the Application Corner for real-world application examples or browse igus’ online catalog of DryLin products. If a DryLin linear bearing is not on hand for your application, igus will custom tool a bearing to meet your specific needs.

Drylin linear bearings and guides are being used in applications and industries as diverse as:

  • boats;
  • packaging;
  • woodworking;
  • material handling;
  • welding fixtures;
  • medical/lab equipment;
  • pick-and-place robots; and
  • high-speed printers.
