drylin® linear systems

Based on the "sliding instead of rolling" principle

Our lubrication-free linear systems travel in dry operation, which makes them maintenance-free and resistant to external influences. In addition, they run especially quietly thanks to the materials used and the special design involved. You can easily calculate the service life online in just a few steps.
Thanks to the personal choice of high-quality single parts, every linear system can be adapted to individual needs. Switching to a sliding system can reduce running operating costs and greatly improve technology, resulting in smooth operation and long service life.

Longer product life cycle

Sustainability

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

No lubricants necessary

Selected linear system application examples

Safety when cutting trees

The last few dry years have made it increasingly dangerous to fell trees with a hammer and wedge. Dead branches fall at the slightest impact. Forstreich, a company based in Freiburg, Germany, has therefore developed a radio-controlled, battery-driven felling wedge.
