The alternative recirculating ball bearing guides

Simple 1:1 replacement with drylin® T

Slide instead of roll – the drylin® T linear rail guide is based on that principle. In the process, the drylin® T rail guide makes the exchange from a recirculating ball bearing system to a sliding system as easy as possible. Connector and hole dimensions of drylin® linear rails and linear carriages are identical to those of conventional recirculating ball bearing systems.
The centrepiece of the guide carriage consists of lubrication-free and extremely long-life sliding elements made of igus® high-performance polymers. Quick and easy to handle and maintenance-free in use. The rail guides made of hard anodised aluminium are tough and corrosion-resistant.

Same dimensions as recirculating ball bearing guides now also possible with our drylin® W system

We have added the WW-10-40-T20-AL carriage to our drylin® W range to match our drylin® T series. It has the same connection dimensions as recirculating ball bearing guides, is quiet thanks to our sliding function and does not require any lubrication at all.

Suitable for drylin® standard rails:
  • WS-10-40 (hard-anodised)​
  • WS-10-40-CA (silver clear-anodised)
  • WSX-10-40 (high profile)
