Replace quickly while fitted on the rail: Liner replacement with igus exchange bearing2019-01-01
In extreme circumstances abrasive sand or glass dust - sooner or later - can cause wear of the liners on a linear guide rail. Just like applications in automation, where linear guides and axes are in operation around the clock. For a replacement of the liner, the entire linear carriage had to be slid off the rail. Especially for linear axes or multi-axis linear robots with belt drive, this could only be done through costly disassembly and recommissioning. Therefore, igus has developed an exchange bearing made of the high-performance plastic iglidur J200 for the drylin W linear guides. The bearing enables easy replacement directly on the linear rail in few steps. This reduces downtimes, saves set-up costs and ensures 24/7 operation. A practical, free tool enables safe installation of the liners in no time at all. To enable even more users to take advantage of the practical and efficient bearing, the new bearing is also available for installation sizes 16 and 20 in addition to installation size 10. Thus, for example, drylin W linear guides, linear axes and linear robots can be easily retrofitted. |
