A manufacturer of scientific
instruments and laboratory
equipment has been able to
save more than £20,000/year
since installing igus dryLin R
linear bearings in analysers
used in particle science
research. The plastic bearings
are lubricant-free and require
no maintenance.

Previously, recirculating
ball bearings were used,
however these required
frequent maintenance and relubrication.

The drylin R
linear bearings and guide
system is dry running and
does not require external oils
or grease, important for
medical laboratories. They
are also corrosion resistant.

The drylin R linear
bearings in the analyser’s
elevator unit facilitate up and
down motion of the cooling
bath or furnace.
