DryLin® linear bearings and linear slide table
DryLin® linear bearings work on high performance polymer glide pads, unlike re-circulating ball bearing systems. These glide pads can, in principle, be produced from the full range of iglidur® materials.
For this reason, the advantages of several iglidur® bearing materials are available for DryLin® linear technology. DryLin® linear systems are designed for dry operation. For this reason, your applications are protected against grease or oil contamination. Dirt, dust or wear are not a problem.
Contrary to re-circulating ball bearings, DryLin® bearings do not require a minimum travel length and are almost noiseless. The material pairing of iglidur® (the gliding element) and aluminium means the glide friction value is optimised: this combination is standard in the DryLin® range. However, other materials, such as steel, stainless steel or carbon fibre are also possible in place of aluminium. DryLin® linear bearings and linear slide tables are maintenance- and lubrication-free and can be delivered ex-stock.
Practical examples
Champagne-bottle sealing machine
In this application, champagne bottles are sealed with corks, aluminum caps and wire braid. For food industry plants, lubrication-free DryLin® guide systems are ideal. They are, for example, insensitive to frequent cleaning and the associated chemicals.
Geset GmbH
Label feeding system
DryLin® T linear guide systems offers quick and flexible format adjustments with complete freedom from lubrication and at a lower cost.
Another advantage: the guide carriage with manual clamping
Alzmetall GmbH & Co. KG
Door mechanism in machine tool plant
The smooth, low noise operation and enormous cost advantages obtained here were thanks to the use of DryLin® R linear plain bearings on hard-anodized guide shafts to guide machine tool door mechanisms. As the guidance system operates dry, there are no maintenance costs. Shavings do not get stuck, because no lubrication is needed.
Bechthold GmbH
Positioning of milling heads
The positioning of these milling heads during the manufacture of aluminium window frames is completed with the DryLin® linear slide table "SHT" . As lubricants are not used in any bearing point, aluminum dust and shavings do not get stuck to the machine.
ADAC test laboratory
ADAC test laboratory
In this facility, dummies are subjected to extreme accelerations to simulate accidents. The DryLin® T linear guide system is used on the height adjustment. Enormous static loads developing at the time of the launch through the recoil can be absorbed due to the large load-bearing surface of the high performance polymers.
Hiestand Deutschland GmbH
Food technology
In this food industry application, bakery products are transferred from one conveyor belt to the next. Contact with foodstuffs means lubricants must be avoided at all costs. Another reason for using DryLin® R linear plain bearings here was because of its resistance to caustic cleaning agents.
