igus UK says its plastic linear and
plain bearings with their chip, dirt
and dust resistant capabilities are
increasingly used in the machine
tools sector.

All plastic bearings from igus are
dry-running; they do not require any
lubrication and protect against the
soiling of grease and oil that can lead
to bearing failure. drylin linear
bearings are designed to repel
particles from the contact surface by
the movement itself. As there are no
rolling elements, there is nowhere for
chips and dirt to become trapped.
