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.
