Linear Motion Built for Machine Tools

Maintenance-free linear motion for dusty CNC applications

Maker Magazine needed a linear guide solution for the MaXYposi XY positioner that could deliver reliable motion in the dust-heavy environment of PCB drilling and milling. drylin® W linear guides provided a robust, lubrication-free solution that resists dust buildup while keeping the machine economical and easy to replicate.

Wear-resistant, maintenance-free bearings for machine tools

Niles-Simmons relies on igus® polymer bearings throughout its machine tools and machining centers to handle demanding, repetitive movements without lubrication or frequent maintenance. From drylin® W linear guides and igubal® spherical bearings to polymer slewing ring bearings, the components provide low-friction, wear-resistant motion while simplifying installation and reducing drive forces.

Precision motion for compact CNC milling machines

G. Kohlbecker needed a precise, low-backlash and maintenance-free motion solution for a new series of compact CAD/CAM milling machines. By combining drylin® miniature linear guides with dryspin® lead screw nuts, the machines achieve smooth, accurate X, Y and Z-axis movement while handling high loads and speeds.

Precise movement with linear technology

See how Östling uses drylin® telescopic rails to create smooth, easy door movement while maintaining the tight enclosure required for safe laser operation. The compact, lubrication-free solution keeps the door exactly where the operator needs it—without compromising safety or design.
