drylin® SAW linear guides with lead screw drive

Dynamic due to lead screw drive with ball-bearing

The high profile based on the drylin® W series provides the torsion-resistant basis for the linear modules of the SAW linear units. Thanks to the high type and the ball bearing spindle as standard, the SAW linear guides are perfect for the direct connection of stepper or DC motors. Freely positionable proximity switches and matching adapter plates, which at the same time enable the construction of multi-axis systems, can be installed with optional profile grooves.

Typical application areas:

Positioning functions
Linear robot structures
Format adjustments
Height adjustments
3D scanner
