drylin® R linear bearings are specifically used in the analyzer’s elevator unit to facilitate the up and down motion of either the cooling bath or furnace during the sample analysis process. The bearings replaced recirculating ball bearings that required frequent maintenance and re-lubrication. drylin® R linear bearings are self-lubricating, corrosion resistant and ideal for the sterile environments where the analyzers are used.

drylin® R linear bearings are not only a cleaner, maintenance-free alternative to recirculating ball bearings, but also extremely cost effective. The scientific instrument manufacturer is able to save more than $36,000 per year as a result of the switch.
