Previously, a lubrication-free and cheap alternative
to linear guide systems that run on ball bearings was developed with the
“Drylin W” system. As early as the construction stage, the flexible and modular
design with its most different accessories allows more freedom of design. New
fields of application for the manifold linear guide systems such as in
agricultural machines, automobile construction, but also in the field of medicine
technology or packing industry, offers now the high-load version in the size
25.
Like all members of the “Drylin W” family, the new
version consist of three simple basic elements: a guide rail made of
hard-anodised aluminium, the housing bearings made of zinc die casting and the
gliding foil made of the tribo-optimized plastic iglidur J200. The W25 double guide rail has a 25mm shaft
diameter and 120mm distance between shaft centres. Compared to the other drylin
W sizes, these new dimensions give a higher load capacity, up to two tonnes, as
well as resisting higher moments. Statically each of
the four bearing housings made of zinc die-casting can take up to 480 kg. A
gliding foil made of iglidur J200 is responsible for the lubrication-free
travel of high loads at low friction values and most minimal wear, especially
developed for the use with hard-anodised aluminium as friction partner.
All four sizes of the “Drylin W” system are easy to
mount because the double rail makes the costly alignment of two parallel shafts
or guides unnecessary. The rails are available up to a length of four meters.
For longer travels, the rails can be easily placed in sequence. The
factory-made attached bevel allows gliding of the glide elements from one rail
to the other. The system is available from stock.

igus now introduces the
fourth size in the “Drylin W” linear guide family: the size 25 (below). With a
load of up to 2 tonnes possible, it can easily move the load of a properly
equipped middle class estate car linearly - maintenance-free and without
lubrication.
Also the new size has
been designed according to the successful principle of the “Drylin W” system:
double guide rail made of hard-anodised aluminium. Its counterpart is the guide
slide that consists of four zinc die casting bearings, equipped with a sliding
foil made of the tribo-optimized plastic iglidur
J200.
