Like all drylin products from igus, the guide system is self-lubricating and therefore maintenance free.
The drylin N guide rails are made of anodised aluminium and incorporate iglidur J or J200 plastic bearing elements to ensure the lightweight system runs quietly. Speeds of up to 15m/s are possible, for payloads up to 50N.
The bearing elements are offered in standard and preloaded (with pretension) versions with either through-hole or threaded mounting fixtures for easy assembly. Longer carriage versions are also available. Profile widths available are 17, 27, 40 and 80mm and all parts are available ex stock for immediate delivery.
Igus has also been demonstrating its leadscrew drive technology, dryspin. Suitable for laboratory automation, handling, automotive and medical applications, dryspin has been developed with an optimised thread angle to enable engineers to achieve higher efficiency, quieter operation and longer lifetime.
Supplied with leadscrew nuts made of iglidur J, the dryspin drives are self-lubricating and maintenance free. “This high-performance polymer material allows for great media resistance on the spindle, for free and easy movement,” said Igus.
The leadscrew nuts are also available in iglidur A180, which conforms to FDA guidelines for the food and drinks industry.
