Overview
The Igus 850-14835 AA is a DryLin R linear slide bearing component manufactured by Igus for industrial automation and motion control systems. The Igus Ohne DryLin R Linear Slide 850-14835 AA is a product designed for industrial automation and motion control applications, manufactured by Igus, known for their quality products in the field of industrial automation. Since 1985, Igus has designed maintenance-free slide bearings for shafts with plastic liners, which are available from a range of materials depending upon your application’s requirements.
Key Features
- Maintenance-Free Design: Unlike re-circulating ball bearing guides that roll, drylin linear bearings are engineered to slide with self-lubricating plastics that are maintenance-free and resistant to external influences.
- Robust in Challenging Environments: Linear bearings from drylin eliminate the need for grease- or oil-based lubricants, making drylin linear systems entirely resistant to dirt, dust, and corrosion.
- Cost-Effective Solution: drylin linear bearings offer savings of as much as 40% over recirculating ball bearings.
- Low Noise Operation: The special materials allow the linear bearings to run extremely quietly.
- Dimensionally Compatible: drylin R linear slide bearings are dimensionally equal to standard recirculating ball bearings for easy retrofitting or replacement.
