drylin® T linear guide carriages

Dimensionally identical to standard commercial linear carriages with recirculating ball bearing guides

drylin® T guide carriages offer a low cost, maintenance-free alternative to recirculating ball bearings. Both are dimensionally identical, allowing for easy one-to-one replacement. drylin® T guide carriages are also made using igus’® self-lubricating plastic polymers to ensure long-term, high quality performance while saving time and money on maintenance. The robust rail guide even guarantees a service life of up to 50,000km. Additionally, miniature rails and guides are available for applications requiring small installation spaces.
