DryLin T Heavy Duty from igus is suitable for demanding industrial applications. The original DryLin T linear guide has been available for many years and is already able to cope with dirty conditions where water or acids may be present. The new, Heavy Duty version of the DryLin T linear guide is a more robust version of its predecessor. It also has a new design feature: its glide pads are locked in place on all sides within the guide carriage. These are made from the igus polymer compound iglidur J, which has extremely low friction and wear values.
The individual glide elements are suspended via locating bores in the metal housing. Once pushed onto the guide rail, the linear system operates continuously in dusty, muddy and wet conditions.
The material strength and elasticity of the plastic liners allow DryLin T Heavy Duty to be used in applications subject to high stress, caused by impact, blows or vibration.
The new linear guide system comprises a hard anodised aluminium rail and anodised aluminium guide carriage. It is supplied as a complete system in lengths of up to 4m.
As with all igus plain and linear bearings, no lubrication is necessary, which makes the system completely maintenance-free.
