The stainless steel linear module of the drylin® SLW series

Ideal for use under extreme conditions

Ensuring that we can offer a solution for every environment is very important to us. There are many applications that are hostile in terms of chemicals. corrosive compounds, hygienic and extreme temperature. The SLW-ES stainless steel linear module is designed for such environments.

Combining a robust lead screw drive with corrosion-resistant stainless steel components as well as lubrication-free bearings, the systems deliver precision positioning with minimal or no maintenance required.

Available with standard, FDA-compliant or high-temperature bearing materials, the SLW-ES is ideal for food processing, packaging and chemical industry applications where cleanliness and durability are essential.
