Linear technology
Many design engineers are familiar with the problem: they want a particularly smooth-running guide for pull-out mechanisms that can withstand high loads without wearing out quickly. Examples are retractable steps in train carriages, plinth solutions in the furniture industry or laboratory equipment. Classic lubricated metal ball bearings are out of the question as they require too much maintenance and are not sufficiently weather-resistant. It is precisely for this application that igus has developed the new hybrid roller bearing with roller retraction system for the drylin W series. Thanks to its crafty design, it combines smooth operation with heavy duty.
From service robotics to medical technology to vehicle equipment: consumers are getting used to automated motion systems. To realise them in confined installation spaces, igus has developed the new, low-maintenance and electric telescopic extension drylin NTM-45.
