drylin R shaft guide

What you will find on our website

drylin R shaft guides are based on highly wear-resistant polymers developed especially for linear technology. The dimensions are compatible with standard ball bearings.The special shape of the shaft guides and shaft bearings guarantee toughness and precision - even under extreme environmental conditions.

Why choose drylin R shaft guides?

One to one replacement very easy

Thanks to dimensions identical with commercially available shaft guides with recirculating ball bearing systems

FDA compliance with stainless steel

Can also be deployed in the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry as hygiene is provided

High precision

Thanks to adjustable bearing clearance at the sliding elements

Tough and flexible

Thanks to absorbing forces from all directions

Quiet operation

Low vibration and quiet movement

Thanks to lubrication-free sliding elements that push away the dirt on the running surfaces of the shafts

Wooden shafts study

Wear on wood

We have carried out various tests on the coefficient of friction and the wear rate of our materials. Plain bearings and liners made of the materials iglidur J and J4 were tested on various wooden shafts in comparison to metal shafts.

drylin R shaft guide design

Floating bearings for shaft guides

The drylin R floating bearings offer great advantages in applications with parallel shafts. Due to their geometry, they are able to compensate for misalignment and parallelism errors and should be used on the shaft furthest from the drive mechanism.
