Benefits of drylin drive technology

Lubrication and maintenance-free

The drylin® drive technology uses plastic plain bearings made from high-performance polymers. The linear units do not require any external lubricants. Maintenance and the associated costs are eliminated.

More about our lubrication-free products

Quiet

drylin® drive technology is based on the plain bearing principle instead of recirculating ball bearing systems. This results in significantly lower noise and vibrations. For you as the operator, the linear unit makes the application up to 4 x quieter.

More about quiet drive technology

Cost-effective

Our drive technology not only stands out from metal solutions thanks to technical advantages such as lubrication and maintenance-free operation, but is also up to 30 % cheaper. Discover our particularly cost-optimised econ series.

More about the cost-effective entry-level series

Sustainable

You don't need a single drop of lubricating oil for our drive technology. This not only benefits our users, but also the environment. In addition, our tribologically optimised materials generate less abrasion, which means less energy is required.

More about the sustainability of plastics

Temperature-resistant

Are you looking for linear units that work reliably in particularly hot or cold environments? The products from drylin® drive technology can withstand almost all trade show conditions. We also have the right linear units for you in our product portfolio for extreme temperatures from -30°C to +180°C.

Customisable & ready to connect

The linear drives from igus® can be ordered with the desired stroke length and with a manual or electric drive. They are delivered ready for connection, which guarantees you significant time savings. Now configure a linear drive according to your needs.

Application examples of drive technology

Special measurement setup with lead screw axes

Research and development in the field of sustainability requires innovative, cost-effective, cleanroom-compatible solutions. In combination with the motor and control system, our lubrication-free lead screw axes ensure a cost-effective turnkey solution.

3D printer for concrete l Lubrication-free solution for dusty environment

The use of cement creates a high level of dust load in the 3D concrete printer, which the products have to withstand. Furthermore, the longest possible service life and fast maintenance are required. Our bearing solutions and lubrication-free linear drives ensure a long service life despite dirt and contamination.

Electric drive technology in an automated positioning system

Unlike traditional recirculating ball bearing systems, drylin linear plain bearings operate on sliding elements. This application overview shows you the most diverse areas of application for maintenance-free linear drives from the drylin product range.
