DryLin® - Glides instead of rolling!

DryLin® linear bearings operate on glide pads unlike the common recirculating ball bearing systems. Thus an essentially larger contact surface becomes available resulting in essentially lower surface pressure. The resultant advantages are:

DryLin® linear bearing systems are designed for the dry operation. Your applications are thereby protected against soiling by grease or oil. Even the application under coarse dirt and sand is possible. Particles are repelled from the contact surface by the movement itself. Here the front side of the gliders works like a wiper. The contact surface remains clean.

In contrast to recirculating ball bearings, the DryLin® bearings operate independent of the travel length and do not pose any conditions on the minimum stroke length. Even applications with extremely short strokes are no problem for the DryLin® linear bearings.

The quiet run is also based on the feature of gliding in contrast to rolling. There is no mechanical rolling up of hard gliding partner and no ball collisions that cause loud noises. The gliding motion is extremely low noise and only a light friction noise is audible.
