Compared to metal, plastic is a very young material. Metals have been used by people for over 8,000 years. Experience in metalworking has been passed on from generation to generation. Where moving components are concerned, metal is regarded as the safest choice, whereby component lubrication and greasing are accepted as necessary tasks.
But what would it be like if materials for moving parts ...
… did not need to be lubricated and greased?
… were up to 70% lighter?
… functioned in dirt, chemicals and water without any problems?
… did not rust and squeak?
… had a predictable service life and were safe to use?
"I love solving problems. I am really pleased if one of our customers can be made happy as a result. Of course, this is only successful if I work very closely with the customer. I need to completely understand where the difficulty lies in order to find an individual solution. Occasionally, such solutions for individuals result in innovations that we add to our catalogue product range. Our customers therefore rely on our team as a driving force in the area of research and development. "
Stefan Niermann, Head of drylin Linear Technology
Our products have been developed for moving applications and very high levels of stress. They include energy supply products, cables, bearing technology, linear technology, bar stock, 3D printing filaments and low-cost robotics:
We continually develop and improve our innovative online tools . The tools make use of research results from the test laboratory and application-related knowledge. This enables our customers to plan their projects progressively, transparently and efficiently.
No more complex trough design - the e-chain travels exactly in line on just one tensioned steel cable. And it's very cost-effective too: from €49/m including e-chain®, five single-core cables, one bus cable, and steel cable and installation material.
▲ Tech up
Energy, data, air and liquids in ONE system
4m/s speed, 80m travel
88% shorter assembly time compared to aluminium trough
Cable diameters from 5mm up to 15mm can be used. The cable is always safely guided through a feed-through to ensure that it is properly wound up at all times.
▲ Tech up
Universally installable (on the floor, on the ceiling or on the wall)
Space-saving
No slip ring, cost-effective when repairs are necessary
iglidur isense plain bearings indicate their wear status in good time. If a bearing needs to be changed, the system is informed about it.
▲ Tech up
Avoid sudden failures
Detect and monitor maintenance requirements via remote diagnostics
Shafts are protected from damage
Electrostatically dissipative laser sintering material for durable, abrasion-resistant 3D printed components. Ideal for applications in the electronics industry, where ESD properties are essential for avoiding damage to electronic components.
▲ Tech up
Contact resistance 10^6 to 10^9 ohms * cm
Rigidity 60% higher than with iglidur I3
Component entirely black, no additional dyeing necessary
This set enables you to control robolink D robot arms, drylin linear robots or delta robots. Robots are easy to program and control via the software's graphical user interface.
▲ Tech up
Programming and integration of robots for everyone
Available in control cabinet or on top-hat (DIN) rail assembly
Digital Twin feature
Single Pair Ethernet technology (SPE) is the key to smart industrial automation. For the first time, this enables uniform, space and cost-efficient Ethernet communication, including the "last metre" from the cloud via the switch cabinet to the machine.
▲ Tech up
Lightweight for easy transport. Also very energy-efficient in interior applications. Installation is quick and intuitive, and the polymer telescopic guide adapts to the application environment thanks to the colour selection.
▲ Tech up
Complete telescopic guide made of iglidur® polymer material
Quiet operation with no rolling elements
Cost-effective production in injection moulding
