DryLin® linear technology made of stainless steel

Machine parts made of stainless steel have to weather many elements. Heat, pressure, seawater, liquid and gaseous media like detergents and other chemicals. If these machine parts also have to undertake bearing tasks, the combination with iglidur® high-performance polymers is ideal. All bearings are lubricant-free and the plastic parts are secured axially and radially in the housings with positive fit.

The suitable iglidur material can be selected according to the application and has a bearing for linear and/or rotary motions.

Lubricant-free

Temperature-resistant up to 250°C

Corrossion-resistant

Resistant to chemicals

Cost-effective

The usage of 1.4571 and 1.4301 makes most of the listed guides resistant to seawater and chemical contact corrosion, as the guide shafts are also made of 1.4571. Despite the lack of surface hardness, required for instance in recirculating ball bearings, they are suitable for use with plain bearings. The large bearing surface of a plain bearing reduces the surface pressure to a quite safe value.
