T profile linear systems

Exoskeleton customised in seconds with lubrication-free igus plain bearings

drylin® linear systems and iglidur® plain bearings provide lubrication-free adjustment of an exoskeleton for stroke patients. Many stroke patients worldwide suffer from hemiplegia (half-side paralysis). Exoskeletons such as Harmony from Harmonic Bionics can help rebuild the nerve tracts in arms and shoulders. In order to quickly adapt the robot-supported system to different body sizes in physiotherapy, the developers rely on the lightweight, lubrication-free and maintenance-free plain bearing technology from igus.

Aircraft construction with drylin® T

To be particularly lightweight in tight installation spaces is easy for drylin® T

In aircraft construction, drilling jigs at the Canadian company Amrikart are precisely and repeatably adjusted with drylin® T linear guide systems. Due to the use of aluminium and plastic, the linear guide is very light and completely maintenance-free due to self-lubrication. It is also compact in size, and the integrated manual clamp secures the position of the device.

drylin® T is THE linear guide system from igus - clean, quiet, durable and available.

Robust drylin® T linear guides function without lubrication and maintenance in the bread production process

In India, the company Vesta relies on drylin® T linear guides and carriages in the production of traditional chapati bread.

Our linear solution works under tough conditions. However, flour dust, dough residues and fast movements are no problem for the lubrication-free drylin® T system. The dough balls are not contaminated and the system runs clean.

For secure hold during welding

drylin® T - When the going gets tough
At the automotive supplier Autotek in Mexico, drylin® T linear guide systems are used in workbenches where chassis parts are clamped for welding. A harsh working environment, because flying sparks and welding dust are a challenge for any guidance. But due to the dry operation of the drylin® T linear carriage, no dirt particles adhere to the running surfaces of the linear rails. The hard anodised rails are also resistant to welding sparks. And the self-lubrication, i.e. the absence of external lubrication  means drylin® T is maintenance-free.

drylin® T is THE linear guide system from igus - clean, robust, durable and directly available.

drylin® T rail with measuring system for tools

Measuring system saves a lot of time and money
Tool changing time is reduced considerably by the measuring system from the drylin®  T product range. The drilling and cutting tools in CNC processing machines are measured prior to processing and the values are entered in the computer. This means that every tool needs to be measured only once. The gauge is guided on a drylin® T rail.

drylin® T in welding technology

Long service life and low costs
The drylin® TK--01-15 linear guide is not only dirt resistant. It is also extremely robust and guarantees a long service life even under extreme environmental conditions.

drylin® T in label feeding system

GESET ETIKETTIER-SYSTEME GmbH relies on drylin® T
Rapid and flexible format adjustment, absolutely lubrication free and competitively priced – drylin® T linear guide system is the solution for such exacting standards. One further benefit is that the guide carriage is also available with a manual clamp.

drylin® T in a grinding machine

Adjustments in linear movements in cupboards, doors and more
The pressing roller in a grinding machine and the imbalance of the grinding tools are guided over a drylin® T rail in this machine from SMB MASCHINENBAU GmbH. The vibration-dampening properties of the plastic bearings provide support for the elaborate grinding process.

drylin® T in an enveloping machine

4 double strokes per second – with little clearance and maintenance-free
drylin® T rail guides are used in this enveloping machine to guide an envelope suction opener that is mounted on one side. In this application, a variable stroke of 4 to 10 mm and a cycle output of 4 double strokes per second. The guidance must be clearance- and maintenance-free and may not require lubrication.
