drylin® SLW series lead screw linear module

Especially multifaceted and torsionally rigid with a double-shaft profile

Very torsionally stable aluminium dual shaft rails and many carriage versions characterise the drylin SLW linear module product range. The linear modules with their high flexural strength are not only ideal for manual format adjustments, but can also be fitted with a motor to make electrical adjustments.

High torsional stability
Fully supported
Hard-anodised rails
Special version SLW-AL with shaft ends made of hard anodised aluminium available on request
Stainless steel version with corrosion-resistant steel components (1.4305 or 1.4571); for stainless-steel version, choice of bearing material iglidur® J, iglidur® X or iglidur® A180.

All information and data about the SLW product range

Technical options for the SLW series

The following options can be configured directly online for the SLW product range.

Lead screw materials

All drylin® linear modules can be delivered with self-locking steel and stainless steel trapezoidal lead screws; upon request, they can also be made from hard coated aluminium. The SHT and SLW series can also be configured with stainless steel high helix lead screws. This allows much higher pitches and drive speeds, but without the self-locking feature.

Electric drive systems: electric motors from igus

Whether DC, lead screw stepper or EC/BLDC motors: with its wide-ranging motor shop, igus offers the possibility of equipping linear axis systems with the appropriate motor solutions. In combination with drylin linear axes, which can be ordered completely ready for installation and connection, entire handling systems can be configured. With the powerful motors you solve a wide variety of problems in electric drive technology.

Digital position indicator

The electronic position indicator (battery operated) for drylin® linear modules can be freely programmed for the individual thread pitch in each case. Ideal for use with dryspin® high helix threads. LCD display with 5 digits and special characters, long battery life and easy battery change without removal of the device.

drylin hand wheels

An extensive selection of hand wheels for a wide variety of requirements is available to ship from stock. They range from small, compact sizes up to Ø125 with or without handles and in various configurations.
