High-tech, lightweight alternative to ball bearings

February 3, 2016 By Mike Santora

IGUS-dry-lin-pr-imageDryLin R round linear bearings are dimensionally equivalent to standard recirculating ball bearings, and made of dry-running, tribologically-optimized iglide plastic plain bearing materials. With an excellent price to performance ratio and available from stock, DryLin R offers technical advantages, as well as up to a 40% cost savings compared to traditional ball bearings.

Aluminum

Low weight
Lower wear of the plain bearing
Corrosion resistant
Ideal in combination with liners made of iglidur J/J 200
Delivered off the shelf

Steel

High load capacity
Application in dry area
Hard chrome-plated also available
Lower coefficient of friction against plastic bearing

Stainless steel

High corrosion-resistance
High resistance to chemicals
Ideal solution for the wet area
V4A for extreme chemical intensive applications
