Many options

igus has produced drylin T, a range of robust linear guide systems that are chip and debris resistant, maintenance free and 100% lubrication free. The product's smooth running design consists of six sliding pads made from the iglidur J plastic bearing material, and a rail and carriage made from aluminium, with the rail being hard anodised.

The drylin T range is available in many options including low profile, heavy duty and compact. Adjustable bearing clearance is available as either manual or automatic, and there is also the option of a hand clamp to brake the carriage. Further advantages of drylin T are its high static load capacity; it achieves surface speeds of up to 15m/s and it can withstand temperatures of -40 to 90°C.
