Unlike guide rails with recirculating ball bearings, drylin® linear bearings and guide rails are designed to slide. The sliding elements are made from high-performance self-lubricating polymers, making the carriage maintenance-free and resistant to external influences. These special materials also let the linear bearings run extremely quietly. By switching to drylin® linear bearings, costs are also cut by up to 40%. Configure a linear carriage for your specific application in just a few steps with our configuration tool. Choose the components that match your application needs, calculate the service life and send it straight to your contact details. Use the tool called the "drylin® linear guide configurator".

- Low height of 6 to 12 mm
- Lightweight
- Silver or black anodised rails
- 4 rail widths from 17-80 mm
3. igus drylin® T linear bearings and guide rails
Replace rolling motion with sliding motion, reducing friction, weight and maintenance. drylin T linear carriages are dimensionally interchangeable with recirculating ball bearings, allowing an easy switch to maintenance-free technology based on self-lubricating high-performance polymers. The guide rails are made from corrosion-resistant aluminium.

- An easy replacement for ball bearing guides
- Self-adjusting bearing clearance
- High static load capacity
4. igus drylin® R linear bearings and shafts
drylin® R linear bearings and shafts comprise iglide® polymer liners and aluminium housings dimensionally identical to standard recirculating ball bearings. The split design of the polymer liner allows easy assembly onto a straight shaft while the shaft stays in place. In addition, integrated wipers clear away debris, making the drylin® R shaft suitable for use in dirty environments. iglide® liner materials offer high temperature capability, FDA compliance, chemical resistance and other engineering advantages.
Benefits of the drylin® R linear bearing and shaft system
- Self-lubricating - no external lubrication needed
- Dimensionally identical to standard bearings
- Corrosion resistant
- Dirt resistant, lightweight, for all shaft materials
- Easily replaceable polymer bearing liners keep installation time to a minimum
- Various polymer bearing liner materials available for additional engineering advantages
- Aluminium, steel, stainless steel and carbon fibre shafts
- Operating temperature up to 250°C (482°F), depending on the material

- Compatible with standard ball bushings
- Interchangeable liners
- High wear resistance
- Durable and dirt resistant
5. igus drylin® Q square linear bearings and guide rails
The drylin® Q square linear bearing and guide rail is an unsupported system with torsional resistance along the axis of travel. The rails are hollow and made from hard aluminium, making them very light and suitable for routing cables. The moving assembly is designed with self-lubricating sliding elements and offers many positioning options on several sides. The drylin® Q square rail can be used in liquid handling / laboratory equipment as well as in the packaging and furniture industries.
Benefits of the drylin® Q square linear bearing and guide rail system
- Self-lubricating - no external lubrication needed
- Torsionally rigid
- Dirt resistant
- Lightweight
- Adjustable add-on mounting
- Vibration damping
- Quiet running
- Mounting accessories available

- Non-rotating
- Space-saving and lightweight
- Infinitely adjustable bearing clearance
- Durable and self-lubricating
6. igus drylin® NT linear bearings and guide rails
The drylin® NT linear bearing and guide rail is an extendable anodised aluminium rail with an iglide® polymer sliding liner. The rail comes in two sizes: NT-35 (35 mm), extendable up to 1,200 mm, and NT-60, extendable up to 2,000 mm. The assemblies are lightweight, completely maintenance-free and need no external lubrication.
- Free stroke length up to 600 mm
- Durable and easy to use
- Self-lubricating and quiet
