igus® parts are used in camera and film equipment to reduce costs and maintenance
Whether "do-it-yourself" applications or professional constructions – the versatile drylin® linear guide system offers design freedom for every construction. Specifically in the construction of camera carriages, also referred to as sliders or dollies, technicians, product designers or DIY enthusiasts can make their wishes come true and combine individual components.
Absolutely self-lubricating and virtually silent thanks to the use of tribo-optimzed plastics and aluminum are only two of the many arguments in favour of igus®. In addition, energy chains and chainflex® cables ensure increased dependability even at high speeds and tight bend radii.
