Advantages of drylin® drive technology

Lubrication and maintenance-free

The drylin® drive technology uses plastic plain bearings made from high-performance polymers. The linear units do not require any external lubricants. Maintenance and the associated costs are eliminated.

More about our lubrication-free products

Quiet

drylin® drive technology is based on the plain bearing principle instead of recirculating ball bearing systems. This results in much less noise and vibration. For you as the operator, the application with the linear unit is up to four times quieter.

More about quiet drive technology

Cost-effective

drylin® drive technology not only stands out from its metal counterpart thanks to technical advantages such as freedom from lubrication and maintenance, but is also up to 30 % cheaper. The linear actuators in the drylin® econ series are particularly cost-effective.

More about the cost-effective entry-level series

Sustainable

You don't need a single drop of lubricating oil for our drive technology. This not only benefits our users, but also the environment. In addition, our tribologically optimised materials generate less abrasion, which means less energy is required.

More about the sustainability of plastics

Temperature-resistant

Are you looking for linear units that function reliably in either particularly warm or cold environments? The drylin® drive technology products can withstand almost all conditions. We also have the right linear units for you in our product portfolio for extreme temperatures from -30°C to +180°C.

Customisable & ready to connect

The linear drives from igus can be ordered with the desired stroke length and with a manual or electric drive. They are delivered ready for connection, which guarantees you significant time savings. Configure a linear drive according to your needs now.

3D printer for concrete l Lubrication-free solution for dusty environment

The use of cement creates a high level of dust load in the 3D concrete printer, which the products have to withstand. Furthermore, the longest possible service life and fast maintenance are required. Our bearing solutions and lubrication-free linear drives ensure a long service life despite dirt and contamination.
