drylin linear technology

What is drylin?

drylin® is a product range of lubrication-free linear plain bearings based on the principle of sliding instead of rolling. Tribologically optimised iglidur® high-performance polymers are used as sliding surfaces. The drylin® linear systems use dry operation
and are maintenance-free. Linear guides based on rails or round shafts are available. Besides the freedom from maintenance and lubrication, the focus is on the ruggedness and insensitivity to influences such as dirt, water, chemicals, heat or impacts.

Technical terms explained simply

In the jungle of technical terms for linear technology, it is easy to lose track. Here we explain, for example, what the stick-slip effect is all about, or simply what a pillow block bearing is.
