DryLin EasyTube, a new maintenance-free linear unit for format adjustments, can be used for adjustment tasks up to 33 pounds in vertical applications or 110 pounds when installed horizontally. The system is temperature-resistant up to 176 degrees Fahrenheit and has the option of a corrosion-free stainless steel leadscrew.

DryLin EasyTube is a completely lubrication-free, compact and lightweight system, consisting of just six individual parts: a leadscrew, tube, two clamping rings, an attachment flange and slide block.

The tube guides the slide block and is available in anodized aluminum or stainless steel. The trapezoidal leadscrew and nut are integrated into the tube so they are protected against external influences.

With this compact, single-tube system, any applied moment is supported by the tube, and a second guide shaft is not required. The slide block, moment support and leadscrew nut are made from a single molding of the igus-developed polymer iglide P. This material is characterized by its high wear resistance, low friction and minimal moisture absorption.

The two end blocks used to attach DryLin EasyTube serve as radial and axial bearings for the leadscrew. These multifunctional components are also made of lubrication-free iglide P, which guarantees minimal wear.
