Linear guides for the small installation space

Whether narrow or flat, the miniature and low-profile guide systems have been specifically designed to enable precise movement and positioning in small machines, vending machines and equipment.

Each linear system glides without lubrication or maintenance, ensures absolute silence and remains completely clean. With their ease of movement or defined displacement forces, they offer a wide range of possibilities for applications with limited installation space.

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.
