Application example for the NTP-27 telescopic rails

Cologne Chamber of Trade drylin® carpentry project

igus® helps prospective carpenters with their project

As part of a course in machinery at the Cologne Chamber of Trade, prospective carpenters combined Scandinavian looks with industrial design. The results of this project are a pull-out bedside table and a coffee table with rotating drawer and pull-out opening. The pieces of furniture are not only beautiful to look at, but have a certain quality.

Extendable drawers in the medical industry

The NT telescopic rail is ideal in drawer applications. Requiring no lubrication, these extendable rails glide smoothly and silently, ensuring a clean gliding operation.
These are suitable for hygienic environments so perfect for cleanrooms.

Application examples

DROP WATER

The beverage vending machine made by California-based Drop Water uses drylin® linear guides to mix and dispense drinks.

CompactChart

The CompactChart from Compact Solutions GmbH as an all-rounder compared to a normal flip chart with drylin® N rail and matching carriages from igus®.

Unsupported wheelchair lift

The wheelchair lift is an innovative system that was specially developed for people in wheelchairs.

Food truck with drylin® N

Nomes srl used drylin® N to convert a normal truck into a food truck.

Sustainability

drylin® linear technology does not use a single drop of lubricating oil. In addition, our tribologically optimised materials produce less micro-abrasion than commercially available plastics. Longer service life also has a positive net effect on the environment.
