drylin® W economy linear rail in clear anodized aluminium

New drylin® W econ rail profiles WS-10-CA from igus

New drylin® W economy rail profiles

drylin W rails are now available standard in low cost clear-anodized aluminum. Another benefit is that the siliver color is consistent from lot-to-lot, unike hard anodized parts which can vary in color. We recommend using carriages with preload or adjustment. Available in 10mm/16mm/20mm round rail designs. * eliminate this: Lifelong rattle-free through combination with pre-loaded drylin® W linear bearings series WJ200UM-01-Pxx

Clear anodized rails in installation sizes 10, 16 & 20

Coefficients of friction of drylin films on anodised rails

We developed the linear rails with clear anodized finish for this purpose
The clear anodizing provides the rails with a consistent silver appearance. In every rail. Thus they serve well whenever they are used as visible parts. We recommend using the new clear anodised rails with adjustable or pre-loaded igus® linear bearings.
