Linear guide saves space, needs no lubrication
To combine variety, make the best possible use of existing space and all without the need for lubrication were the specifications laid down when producing a new linear guide.
The rails are made of V4A high-grade steel (316 Ti).
This means the guides not only offer maximum corrosion resistance, but they also withstand many different chemicals and are resistant to temperatures up to 250 degC.
The linear system needs no lubrication and therefore does not require any maintenance during normal operation.
The linear bearings are offered with the option of running on iglidur J or iglidur X polymer bearings.
iglidur J is well-known for its minimal wear, chemical-resistance and vibration-damping properties.
The high performance polymer also absorbs very little moisture.
iglidur X also has these traits, but is additionally pressure-resistant, even under high-temperatures.
The new stainless steel guides are available as individual single rails with a diameter of 20 mm, or as a double rail (10 mm).
Carriage size and the space between the rails can also be varied to suit the application. Request a free brochure from Igus UK ...
