drylin® N low-profile linear slides for small installation spaces

drylin® N low-profile linear slides consist of profile rails and die-cast or plastic carriages. The self-lubricating sliding elements are made of high-performance iglide® polymers. Designed for applications with very limited installation space, their height is as low as 6 to 12 mm (0.24 to 0.47 inches). Pre-loaded versions available to both define the drive force and reduce noise from vibrations.
