Linear bearing system gets locking carriage
The latest development of the highly successful DryLin T linear bearing system is to have a locking carriage, useful if a machine guard must be held closed for safety reasons
The system is temperature-resistant up to 80C and has the option of a corrosion-free stainless steel leadscrew.
Potential industries for this product include machine tools, food manufacturing and packaging.
DryLin EasyTube is a completely lubrication-free, compact and lightweight system, consisting of just six parts: a leadscrew, tube, two clamping rings, an attachment flange and slide block.
The tube guides the slide block and is available in either anodised aluminium or stainless steel.
The trapezoidal leadscrew and nut are integrated into the tube and so are protected against the external environmental conditions.
The entire EasyTube system is kept as small as possible.
With this compact, single-tube system, any applied moment is supported by the tube and therefore a second guide shaft is not required.
The slide block, moment support and leadscrew nut are made from a single moulding of the Igus-developed polymer Iglidur P.
This material has extremely high wear resistance, low friction and minimal moisture absorption.
The two end blocks used to attach DryLin EasyTube also act as radial and axial bearings for the leadscrew.
These multifunctional components are also made of lubrication-free Iglidur P, which guarantees minimal wear. Request a free brochure from Igus UK ...
