EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. – DryLin® T from igus® Inc. is an excellent choice for dirty, dusty or wash down environments. DryLin T is a maintenance-free, adjustable, profile guide rail, which is dimensionally interchangeable with most traditional re-circulating ball guides and completely corrosion-resistant.

It is comprised of a hard-anodized-aluminum T-shaped rail, a clear-anodized-aluminum adjustable carriage and igus’ iglide® J polymer material blend gliding elements, to form a lightweight unit. The iglide J glide inserts combine lubrication-free operation and low wear rates to make DryLin T a maintenance-free solution. They also are designed for easy adjustment of the clearance to the guide rail. DryLin T is resistant to dirt and dust and possesses high shock absorption capabilities.

Some other advantages of the DryLin T system include: 

a low rate of inertia for high accelerations and high speeds;

lower noise levels than metal-on-metal solutions;

the capacity to withstand high static loads in all directions for consistent performance under strenuous conditions; and

superior vibration dampening.

DryLin T can be used in a wide range of applications such as food, medical and clean rooms, as it requires no lubrication and due to its high shock absorption capabilities, is ideal for sensitive equipment such as semiconductors, water handling systems and test and measurement equipment. DryLin T also is well suited for the woodworking industry and can be employed on mounting vacuum grippers, sawmills, tool changers and wood chippers.
